City Council Recap:
The CLBA exists to help local businesses stay informed, engaged, and prepared for the decisions shaping our community. As part of that commitment, CLBA provides a monthly summary of upcoming City Council agenda items before each council meeting, highlighting topics that may impact Celina's business community. While CLBA does not endorse specific positions, our goal is to make local government more accessible by providing business owners with timely, easy-to-understand information so they can better understand issues affecting growth, development, infrastructure, regulations, and the overall business climate in Celina.

Celina Chamber Supports Collin College Proposition A
The Celina Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors supports Collin College Proposition A on the November 3, 2026 ballot.
Proposition A would authorize $600 million in bonds to expand educational access, strengthen workforce and career training, modernize existing facilities, and accommodate continued enrollment growth throughout Collin County. Proposed projects include expanded facilities for high-demand academic and technical programs, an Aviation Academy, campus renovations, and new campuses in Anna and Royse City.
The Chamber Board believes that investing in education and workforce development is essential to maintaining a strong regional economy. As Celina and northern Collin County continue to grow, local employers need access to a skilled workforce prepared for careers in healthcare, construction, technology, advanced manufacturing, public safety, and other high-demand industries.
Collin College states that its current tax rate of $0.08122 is anticipated to remain the same if the bond is approved. State law requires the ballot proposition to include the statement, “THIS IS A TAX INCREASE.”
We encourage voters to review the proposal and make an informed decision.
