Prosper Parks and Recreation kicks off the Discover Downtown Series of events with the “Moonlight Movie” tomorrow evening at Prosper Town Hall (250 W. First Street).

Beginning at 7 p.m., event-goers will be treated to lawn games, balloon artists, shaved ice and popcorn. From 8:30-10:30 p.m., the Disney movie Encanto will be shown in the Town Hall parking lot. Plan to bring lawn chairs and blanket for your family. Prior to the event, make sure to visit downtown Prosper businesses, which will be open for food and beverages.

Parking will be available on the north side of Town Hall. Event-goers are encouraged to enter the event site from Main Street.

Encanto is a story that follows the “girl with no gift,” Mirabel, who tries her best to fit in with her extraordinary family. Once Maribel notices that the family’s casita is showing cracks, it’s up to her to find out what’s happening to save both her family and home.

Prosper taxpayers should receive their 2022 Appraisal Notices from the Collin Central Appraisal District (CCAD) by the end of April. CCAD anticipates an average increase of 28%-30% for home appraisals in Collin County compared to 2021. Despite rising home values, the Town has some tax relief programs available to Prosper taxpayers. In addition to the 10% state-wide appraisal cap, Prosper homeowners have the opportunity to take advantage of additional tax relief in the form of a 10% Homestead Exemption and a tax freeze for individuals age 65 and over. Additionally, the Town Council dropped the tax rate by $0.01 in 2021 to provide additional tax relief to Prosper property owners. The Town Council is aware of the impact of rising values on taxpayers and is committed to ensuring the Town continues to provide exceptional services while remaining fiscally responsible. More information can be found on the Collin CAD website at collincad.org.

Members from Prosper Fire Rescue, Police and PISD Police will be on-site to help safely dispose of your prescription medications.

A special thank you to the entire Prosper community and everyone who helped oppose the US 380 "Segment B" bypass. Because of your help and the Town rallying together in unity of this opposition, we were able to make our voice heard to those who wish to impede on our East side of town. We are so incredibly grateful and proud of the time and effort made by so many residents and members of the community that showed up and spoke up. You make us all Prosper proud!
