Here are the top stories today in McKinney-Frisco:

1. This week one mosquito pool in Frisco tested positive for West Nile Virus, near Copper Point Lane in the Village Lakes neighborhood. In response, the city will ground spray overnight, Oct. 8 and 9, in some areas of these neighborhoods: Village Lakes, Crosspointe Park, Park Place Estates, Pearson Farms, Heritage Village and Westfalls Village. (Press Release Desk)
2. Texas has attracted many high-profile companies from California and other West Coast states in recent years, with Frisco and other North Texas cities competing for corporate flags. Frisco leaders say they see no signs that the city’s popularity with West Coast companies will fade because it offers amenities that others can’t. Texas’ public education, lower tax rates and housing prices, better air quality, and smaller homeless population are some of the reasons Californians might relocate to the state, according to a report. (The Dallas Morning News)
3. National home prices in the McKinney-Frisco area broke another yearly growth record as buyer demand remained strong and housing supply stayed tight. (McKinney-Frisco Patch)
4. In the face of an accelerated timeline, Frisco is prioritizing roadway development in the city’s northwest sector. (Star Local Media)
5. North Texas Palms and Pottery to host grand reopening for new location in McKinney. (Community Impact Newspaper)
