About The Melissa Gazette
Covering one of the fastest-growing towns in Collin County — trusted local news, events, and the stories behind Melissa's new-build boom.
Our Mission
Melissa has gone from a few hundred residents to more than 30,000 in a single lifetime, and a town growing that fast deserves a dedicated local voice. The Melissa Gazette covers the news, events, and stories that the bigger metro outlets overlook — from Melissa ISD's expansion to the revival of the Cooper Street downtown district.
