Frisco Plans & Initiatives

The Town of Frisco uses planning processes to gather community input and create clear strategies that reflect the community’s vision—for everything from parks to housing. These efforts also support Frisco’s state-mandated Comprehensive Plan, which guides future growth and is informed by the Town’s other more specific planning processes.

It’s important to note that putting these plans into action often depends on available funding. While the Town maintains a 10-year capital plan, many proposed projects must remain unfunded due to budget limitations and subsequent need to prioritize.

Over 150 community members took part in the charrette which included drop-in listening sessions, stakeholder interviews, an open design studio, and two public open houses intended to educate attendees about the planning process and solicit feedback on issues and opportunities for the downtown street network.
