The City of Celina’s population has doubled in three years. City leaders say the growth is welcomed as they keep up with demand.
If you take the 50-minute drive up the tollway from Dallas, as you reach city limits, more and more signs of change appear. You can't miss the signs pointing to fields of farmland for sale, the widening sea of rooftops, or the constant hum of construction.
"I think the biggest challenge is keeping up with services as you grow. You know, we're always a little bit behind," said Celina City Manager Jason Laumer. "Just seems like to most folks they look at this and go well 'y'all are behind' but that's normally why we are playing catch up. You build a home where it might be two years for we see any tax money on that house," said Chief Metdker.
The groundbreaking is set for late Summer/early Fall 2022 and the city has acquired locations for 11 more fire stations. Chief Metkder expects the city to have a least 15 fire stations in the future.The police chief says along with the population, the volume and variety of 911 calls is increasing. Overall, he's excited about growing his department to meet the public safety needs of the growing city. Right now, Celina has 46 police officers.
