Construction Timeline and Status

The Lincoln Tech Rowlett project was registered with TDLR in April 2026, and plan review was completed in June 2026. Construction was scheduled to begin in April 2026 with a planned completion date of August 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window of 122 days is longer than the 92-day median for similar renovation projects in Dallas County.

Herbst-Musciano, LLC has three other TDLR-registered projects for Lincoln Technical Institute, totaling $875,000. These include a $275,000 project in Houston and two $300,000 projects in Grand Prairie, both of which are closed. This Rowlett project is significantly larger, reflecting the scale of the new campus facility.

Third-party job listings indicate Lincoln Tech is hiring for the Rowlett location. A LinkedIn post described a Financial Aid Manager role in Rowlett, and other listings mentioned a Lead Facilities Manager for the soon-to-open campus. These postings suggest activity related to the new facility, though the TDLR record remains the authoritative source for construction status.

The project is located in ZIP code 75089, which has a population of about 35,400 and a median household income of $125,315. The Dallas County unemployment rate was 3.3 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier.
