I remember when Frisco, TX was the place people went bird hunting. It was a few small communities and a hodge-podge of ranches; one famous and a few infamous..... When I moved here from Plano the population was around 28,000 - when the EDC was formed the population was about 6,000!
Everyone knows Frisco's growth has been record breaking, but is our potential fully realized?
Having attended a development round-table earlier this week, I am delighted to share a few "Frisco Facts," of which I was reminded or only just learned:
- Frisco ISD has remained the fastest growing in TX (and in the top of the nation) for 12 consecutive years
- Frisco ISD has more Exemplary Rated Schools than any district in TX
- Frisco ISD is about 68% built-out (between development, parks, etc)
- The city of Frisco is approximately 50% built-out
- 3 land owners retain the majority of the undeveloped land (over 60%)
- Frisco boasts appox 1,400-acres of developed park land & 56 miles of hike & bike trails (& growing)
- Frisco owns approx 750 undeveloped park lands
- Stonebrook Parkway... will not be opening as quick as most believed - between crossing a Flood Plain & Rail Road, we are looking less at months & more towards years
