In simultaneous meetings held last week, Wylie City Council and Collin College trustees took the first step toward construction of a college campus in Wylie.

The meetings were held Tuesday, June 28. Wylie City Council voted to donate 43.68 acres of land as the site of a campus and Collin College trustees voted to accept the property and authorized District President Neil Matkin to purchase two other tracts in Wylie for the campus.
