Plano leaders approve mixed-use development for Haggard farmland

A sharply divided Plano city council approved a huge new mixed-use development on what is now farmland owned by the pioneering Haggard family.

It was a 5-3 vote for the zoning change along the Dallas North Tollway in west Plano.

The project will include apartments, a hotel, retail, offices, and an outdoor event space.

Some opponents wanted fewer apartments and more single-family homes.

The developer hopes to break ground by the end of the year.
