On Sunday evening, September 14, 2025, the downtown square in Celina, Texas was bathed in candlelight and prayer as residents gathered to remember Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. Kirk, a prominent speaker on college campuses and outspoken Christian, was assassinated in Utah just four days earlier. In a video message recorded before his death, he said that if he were remembered for anything, he hoped it would be courage and faith. Those two themes guided Celina’s response. A grassroots gathering The vigil was not a city‑sponsored event. According to community organizers, neighbors, friends and families came together to plan the gathering at the square, which began at 6 p.m. They invited everyone to wear orange—a nod to the Celina Bobcats—and asked attendees to avoid blocking streets so the square remained open. The organizers emphasized that there would be a few speakers, but the evening was meant to be a family‑oriented time of love and remembrance. Residents were encouraged to share the invitation with church groups, sports teams and homeowners associations so that the entire community could participate. Honouring Charlie Kirk’s legacy Those attending the vigil knew Kirk primarily as a dynamic Christian voice. He founded Turning Point USA while still a teenager and spent the next decade speaking on university campuses about faith, free speech and personal responsibility. At the Celina gathering, Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner reminded the crowd that Kirk was loved “not only for what he opposed, but for what he stood for”—his belief in limited government, free speech and personal responsibility. Skinner told attendees that, although they were united in grief, they were also united in gratitude for Kirk’s life. He noted that Kirk once said he wanted to be remembered for courage and for his faith, a remark that drew nods and “amens” from the crowd. Skinner thanked the Celina Police Department and his deputies for keeping the event safe and called on the community to continue showing kindness, compassion and unity. Former Dallas Cowboy and legendary Hall of Fame member Randy White took to the stage to deliver some heartfelt comments about Charlie and how he was able to reach out to the younger generation and how important and everlasting that impact will be. Celina Mayor Ryan Tubbs was joined on stage by city council members Brandon Grumbles, Philip Ferguson and Wendie Wigginton, along with state Representative Matt Shaheen. Tubbs reminded attendees that Kirk’s faith guided his thought and politics. He called Kirk an intelligent debater, organizer and, most importantly, a fellow believer in Christ. Tubbs prayed for protection and guidance over the nation’s families, schools and God‑given rights, then quoted Kirk’s own declaration of hope: “Jesus defeated death so that you can live.” Shaheen later posted a photo from the event with the caption “Bold witnesses for Jesus Christ” and encouraged followers to carry Kirk’s commitment to truth and faith forward. An outpouring of support As the sun set, hundreds of Celina residents and visitors filled the square with candles, hymns and prayers. Many held signs thanking Kirk for his advocacy, while others clutched Bibles or joined hands in circles of prayer. Children sat on their parents’ shoulders to see the speakers; teenagers hugged one another and cried; older couples quietly sang “Goodness of God.” The mood was solemn yet hopeful. Sheriff Skinner’s office later posted that he was grateful “for every person who attended, every prayer lifted, and every memory shared,” noting that the community stood strong together to honor Charlie’s life and legacy. The vigil’s grassroots nature underscored the impact Kirk had on everyday people. Organizers reminded everyone that the gathering was a time to show love and respect and that Celina’s Bobcat heart would remain strong. By the end of the night, many attendees left inspired to live out the same courage and faith that Kirk exemplified. In a small Texas town, under a late‑summer sky, the community responded to tragedy with unity, worship and hope—reflecting exactly how Charlie Kirk said he wanted to be remembered.

Downtown Celina Parking Garage By Ron Lyons, Celina Real Estate Professional & Founder of The Best of Celina The Downtown Celina Parking Garage Is Coming! If you’ve spent any time on the downtown square in Celina, Texas , you already know one of our community’s biggest challenges: parking. On weekends, special events, or even busy weeknights, the square fills quickly. Many of us have circled the block more times than we’d like to admit, hoping for that one spot to open up. As a Realtor who has lived and worked in Celina for decades, I can tell you firsthand: parking has been a limiting factor in downtown’s growth. Now, change is on the horizon. The City of Celina has officially broken ground on a new four-story parking garage , the first phase of the ambitious Downtown Center project. This isn’t just another construction project—it’s a turning point for how our city manages growth and supports the heart of our community. What’s Being Built The garage will rise near Pecan Street and Arizona Drive , just steps from the historic square. When complete, it will feature: Four levels of parking with nearly 400 spaces  (about 25,202 sq ft) Oversized stalls on the first floor  for larger trucks—because Celina drivers don’t all roll in compact cars Conduits for future EV chargers  (chargers to be installed later) An off-site library book drop  for convenience Masonry exterior  designed to complement the historic charm of the square An elevator lobby  lined up with the future Downtown Center atrium This garage isn’t just functional—it’s intentionally designed to blend with downtown’s aesthetic and prepare for future needs. Who’s Building It The City of Celina selected Swinerton  as the construction manager-at-risk. Their track record includes large, community-focused projects across Texas, and they’ve already mobilized crews downtown. Recent progress updates show structural steel in place, mechanical/electrical/plumbing trades working, elevator installation underway, and brickwork being added to the east side.  The City has consistently reported that the project remains on schedule. The Price Tag and How It’s Funded Here’s where it gets especially interesting: The guaranteed maximum price  for the garage is $19.3 million , approved in September 2024. The garage is part of the larger Downtown Center program , which carries a total budget of $94 million . Funding sources include: $73M in bonds $3M in non-bond city funds $4M in park funds $1.5M in art funds $12.5M in 2025 bond funds According to City Manager Robert Ranc , the city is financing through Certificates of Obligation (CO) bonds . In his words: “We funded it through Certificate of Obligation bonds, and $94 million is the budget.” Why It Matters for Downtown Growth From my perspective as both a Celina business owner and real estate professional, parking has long been a pain point. I’ve spoken with potential investors and entrepreneurs who love the idea of opening a shop or restaurant downtown—but hesitate because customers might not find a place to park. This garage could change that. Accessibility:  With nearly 400 new spaces, visitors will have a much easier time spending an afternoon or evening downtown. Event relief:  From Cajun Fest to Homecoming parades, downtown events bring thousands of people. Parking often pushes guests far beyond walkable distances. This project will ease that burden. Business growth:  More reliable parking means more people willing to stay and shop, dine, and enjoy the square. The Downtown Center Connection The parking garage is just the first step  in a much larger plan. The 115,245 sq ft Downtown Center  will eventually house: A new, larger Celina Public Library City offices Rooftop community space  with skyline views A garden-like reimagined alley  to connect spaces The garage ensures that by the time the Downtown Center opens, the infrastructure is ready to support it. What City Leaders Are Saying A few highlights from recent meetings and announcements: Mayor Ryan Tubbs:   “The new parking garage and Downtown Center are critical components of our long-term vision for downtown Celina… These facilities will meet the needs of our rapidly growing community and create a thriving activity hub.” Mayor Tubbs (on finishes):   “This is a 50–100-year building… I hate to have such a big beautiful building and then cheap out on the finishes.” Assistant City Manager Kim Brawner:  Emphasized features like oversized truck stalls, EV readiness, and the library drop-off during the council meeting. Timeline Groundbreaking:  October 15, 2024 Target opening:  October 2025 As of the most recent updates, construction is progressing on schedule . What This Means for Celina Real Estate As someone who helps people buy, sell, and invest in Celina real estate, I can’t overstate how important this project is. Strong downtown infrastructure drives value across the city. When the core thrives, the surrounding neighborhoods, businesses, and property values follow. This parking garage—while not glamorous in itself—represents Celina’s commitment to sustainable growth.  It tells prospective residents, business owners, and investors: We’re building for the future. For those of us who have watched Celina grow from a small town to one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, this is more than concrete and steel. It’s a statement about who we are and where we’re going. Final Thoughts The new downtown parking garage  is a vital piece of Celina’s puzzle. It tackles a real challenge—parking—that has frustrated residents and limited growth. By tying it directly into the Downtown Center , the city is ensuring that Celina’s downtown square continues to thrive as both a destination and the heartbeat of our community. As always, I’ll keep sharing updates through The Best of Celina  and my real estate blog . Because in Celina, every new development isn’t just about buildings—it’s about the future we’re creating together. — Ron LyonsCelina Real Estate Professional | Founder, The Best of Celina Ron@TheBestOfCelina.com 214-783-5440
