Seven projects completed in 2025 (five residential properties, one mixed-use development and one non-residential property) were recognized by the City Council Monday night as part of the 31st annual Community Revitalization Awards program. The program allows the City to thank property owners who have made a significant, positive impact on their property and the surrounding area. The selection committee for the 2025 awards included representatives from the City Council, City Plan Commission and Richardson Chamber of Commerce.  

Early voting for the March 3 Democratic and Republican Primary Elections will be held Feb. 17-27. Registered Dallas County voters who are Richardson residents may vote early at any designated Dallas County early voting location. Collin County voters who are Richardson residents may vote early at any designated Collin County early voting location.

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is once again providing free, in-person tax preparation help through April 15 at Richardson’s recreation centers to those who qualify, with a special focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and have low to moderate income. The Tax-Aide volunteers are trained and IRS-certified every year.   

Monday, Feb. 16 is President’s Day, and as it is a federal holiday, most banks, many schools and federal entities such as the US Postal Service will be closed that day. However, the City of Richardson will maintain normal operating schedules for all city services and City facilities will be open during regular business hours.
