Agreement between Anna Economic Development Corporation and Foursquare

facility up to $800,000.00. (EDC)
SUMMARY:
Foursquare Healthcare owns and manages senior care facilities in Texas that specialize
in short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and long-term nursing care. This
development will include two phases; one for a medical lodge and the second for
medical offices. The capital investment for this development is approximately
$26,000,000.00,
The Anna Medical Lodge consists of 5.5 acres and will house 128 beds and employ
approximately 100 skilled and non-skilled jobs.
The Medical Office consists of 8 acres and is expected to accommodate targeted,
freestanding physician offices, employing approximately 80 skilled and non-skilled jobs.
Currently, the land is an undeveloped site that will require major site improvements,
including water and sewer infrastructure, a gas line and extension, and required
roadway and paving improvements.
The Anna EDC has committed to reimbursing the developer up to $800,000.00 for the
reasonable construction costs of certain site improvements. The developer will submit
proper documentation to the EDC for those approved expenditures before any
reimbursement of funds is executed.

Default , the City may in its sole discretion initiate and pursue a zoning case to change
the zoning classification . In the event that the City initiates such a zoning case after a
Deadline Default, the Owner shall not oppose the zoning case and shall be deemed to
have fully and irrevocably released and waived any claim , cause of action , litigation or
other challenge or proceeding to such zoning case on any legal basis or theory
whatsoever.
SECTION 5. DEFAULT.
If Owner, its heirs, successors or assigns or any Subsequent Owner of the Property or any part

Defaulting Owner shall be liable to pay the City said $2,000 sum per day for each day
that such failure to comply occurs . The sums of money to be paid for such failure(s) is
not to be considered as a penalty, but shall be deemed, taken and treated as reasonable
liquidated damages that accrue per day that such a failure shall exist or occur. The said
amounts are fixed and agreed upon by the Parties because of the impracticability and
extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the City in such event
would sustain; and said amounts are agreed to be the amounts of damages which the
City would sustain. In the event of a breach that is not timely cured as set forth below,
the sum of liquidated damages shall be calculated to include each and every day of the
occurrence of the breach beginning on the date that the City first provided written notice
of such breach under this paragraph and the City shall not be required to provide any
subsequent written notices as to subsequent dates or times during which such breach is
repeated or continues to occur

continuously been undertaken but reasonably requires more than 45 calendar days to

AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Action on Resolution No. 2025-10-13 approving and adopting the
2025 Community Development and Economic Development Strategic Plan. (CDC/EDC)
SUMMARY:
The Community Development and Economic Development Strategic Plan is designed to
be a comprehensive document developed to guide the City’s growth, business
attraction, infrastructure investments, and community engagement efforts over a five-
year period.
The existing Community Development and Economic Development Strategic Plan,
adopted in 2020, has reached the end of its effective period. As the City of Anna
continues to experience exponential growth, staff determined it was necessary to
revamp and modernize the 2020 Strategic Plan to better align with the organization's
evolving priorities and to support new initiatives that reflect the changing needs of the
community and regional economy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the EDC Board approve Resolution No. 2025-10-13 adopting the
2025 Community Development and Economic Development Strategic Plan.

Anna has seen explosive growth as it is transitioning from a small, rural community to a fast-growing
suburb of the DFW metroplex. Since 2000, Anna’s population has increased 2512%. The City has ranked
one of the top 5 fastest-growing cities in nation in 2025. With a population just over 32,000, strong
residential growth, a stellar school district, a diversity of new projects and prime location on US Highway
75, State Highway 5 and State Highway 121, as well as frontage along the Collin County Outer Loop, make
Anna an excellent choice for corporations and residents alike.
With ample land availability, a historic downtown, and several developments already underway, Anna’s
City Council is actively and strategically managing the city’s rapid growth. In 2019, the Council tasked the
CDC and EDC with creating a bold economic development plan. In response, both organizations
conducted a comprehensive assessment of the community, including workshops, vision-setting sessions,
SWOT analyses, and the identification of key metrics. The result was a strategic plan that clearly defines
the City of Anna’s vision, mission, and core values, along with specific goals, objectives, and tactics. Once
approved by the City Council, this plan will guide economic development efforts over the next 3 to 5 years,
serving as both a framework and decision-making tool to attract businesses and residents, support
infrastructure, promote economic diversity, and inform future housing and growth decisions.
Having both Type-A EDC and Type-B CDC corporations, Anna can facilitate creative public/private
partnerships that will realize the vision and objectives outlined. Furthermore, the Business Retention and
Expansion program serves as an important and strategic piece in sustaining and expanding the
community’s economic vitality. The BRE Program focuses on business education, fostering a welcoming
business climate, and promoting a community spirit that engages neighbors, continues to raise quality of
life standards reinforced by the City’s strategic priorities.
The strategic plan is a dynamic document that should be reviewed and updated annually to reflect
changing market conditions. As the City Council, EDC, and CDC work to elevate Anna’s profile and
strengthen its identity, the city is well-positioned for continued growth—supported by a business-friendly
tax environment, expanding transportation corridors in all directions, and thriving neighborhoods with
growing amenities.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Anna’s thriving community can been seen by:
Higher quality developments
Additional catalyst projects in the downtown area
Mixed-use development along FM 455/Highway 75
Strategic public/private partnerships
Increased investments in physical infrastructure
Stronger regional partnerships
Who We Are?
Anna has created a balanced and sustainable tax base that invites high
quality jobs, facilitates excellent quality of life with well-maintained and
first-rate infrastructure, and offers a wide range of housing and public
facilities that build community identity and pride and engage neighbors in
meaningful ways.
Core Values
As part of this initiative, the stakeholders outlined key principles that should
guide future economic development decisions for the community, as follows:
