Planned East Plano Community Rebranded The Meadow, County Says
Officials and local reporting said the development long known as EPIC City was rebranded as The Meadow, and developers may pursue filings that could move the project forward. The change matters to Collin County residents because the 402 acre proposal would add homes, a mosque, a school and commercial space in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties, bringing potential impacts on infrastructure, services and local governance.

County leaders and local outlets reported on November 20 that the large planned community associated with the East Plano Islamic Center has been renamed The Meadow. Collin County Judge Chris Hill posted updates indicating developers Community Capital Partners, known as CCP, may file applications with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for a municipal utility district and could submit plats to the county, steps that would begin formal county review and approval processes.
The site covers roughly 402 acres spanning unincorporated areas of Collin and Hunt counties. Plans tied to the project have included residential neighborhoods, a mosque, an educational campus and commercial areas, defining it as a mixed use development with both civic and private components. Local reporting has noted the project generated controversy during earlier stages, and as of the November 20 update no final county filings were publicly available.
For residents of Collin County the proposal raises practical questions about roads, water and sewer services, school capacities, and property tax arrangements that often accompany municipal utility districts. A MUD application to state regulators would be a key milestone because such districts can levy assessments to fund infrastructure, and plat filings would launch the county review that governs lot layout and public improvements. Those procedural steps, if taken, will shape timelines and the scope of public input.
Beyond planning and infrastructure the development speaks to community relations in a diverse and growing region. Developments associated with faith based institutions can prompt vigorous local debate about land use, religious freedom and neighborhood character, and officials will need to balance legal obligations with opportunities for civic dialogue. As the project moves through state and county channels in the coming months, residents can expect public notices and hearings that will clarify details and allow community voices to be heard.
