Early voting opens today. The cycle I saw at City Hall: colleges train talent, employers follow talent, housing follows jobs. With up to ~11M sq ft of office planned at Fields, the talent pipeline matters. I support Collin College Prop A. cheneygroup.com/blog/collin-…
Not long ago people said Frisco was too far out. Anna is that place now. 1,800 homes breaking ground there tells you the growth line hasn't stopped moving north. The cities that do well with it plan the commercial side early, so families aren't driving 20 minutes for groceries.

Every city in North Texas competes for every deal, and that's healthy. But companies pick the region first and the city second. The cities that win the most are the ones that help land the deal for North Texas even when the site ends up next door.

Close to 15 years ago my son Zach asked me why everything in Frisco was nice except our downtown. I didn't have an answer.
Tonight we cut the ribbon on 4th Street Plaza in the Frisco Rail District. Now I do. 🧵

Voters said yes in 2019 and 2023. Main Street, a 450-space garage, and now the plaza add up to more than $80M in the place where Frisco began. A 20 year overnight success story.
Century buying HistoryMaker while DFW prices are down year over year is a bet on where North Texas will be in five years, not where it is this quarter. What they're really buying is land and lots in the path of growth.
No. 10 largest homebuilder Century Communities buys No. 77 largest builder HistoryMaker—and makes a big bet on Dallas while it's down
Home prices are falling year-over-year in all nine DFW counties where HistoryMaker builds

Fehmi Karahan has a long track record of building places that last, and 11 million square feet of office at Fields is a big vision. Frisco is lucky to have him developing here.
Fehmi Karahan and KDC plan to build 11 million square feet of office space at the Fields development in Frisco. It would be one of the largest office hubs in the region. dallasnews.com/business/real…
Kyndryl could have put its first U.S. AI lab anywhere. It chose Frisco Station: up to 300 AI and engineering jobs over four years. The part I'd watch is the training work with NPower and Dallas AI. That's how people already here get a shot at those jobs.

In Grand Rapids with @FriscoChamber's LEX trip, alongside city, education and business leaders. Year 7, and every trip has shaped Frisco. A highlight: why a Frisco Community Foundation matters for filling the gaps that come up as a city grows.
Compare the bill. Factor in homestead.
On a $500k home, annual *city* tax after general homestead (TY2026/FY2027):
Frisco $1,702
Plano $1,750
Allen $1,970
McKinney $2,061
Prosper $2,083
Celina $2,858
McKinney’s rate is lower than Frisco’s. Frisco’s bill is still lower here because of the 20% homestead. Lowest rate ≠ lowest bill.
City portion only. ISD + county + other taxes are separate.
An exciting day for Frisco! Congrats to all the volunteers who proved this concept for over a decade and for @PlayFrisco for bringing this vision to life. I can’t wait to get my bike out there or just enjoy walking the nature trails. Well done!
Now open! The City of Frisco is growing its park system by opening the 122-acre Northwest Community Park, located at 13770 Teel Pkwy. Learn all about it at friscotexas.gov/m/newsflash/…
The new park marks the first time Frisco has built a community park in one phase. Northwest Community Park is also an active restoration project, designed to preserve endangered Blackland Prairie.

Northwest Community Park opens today.
Long before the playgrounds and splash pad, volunteers from DORBA, Shawnee Trail Cycling, and Frisco Cycling built the trails in 2012. That citizen proof of concept served this community for years.
Cities get better when people show what’s possible — and then the city finishes the job.
Cowboys Night at The Star. 10th straight year of open practices in Frisco.
We bought 91 acres for Nebraska Furniture Mart, lost it, and three months later the Cowboys called. My kids grew up performing in that stadium. The Cowboys changed this city forever.
Some of our biggest wins start as a loss.

Opening day is set!
Get ready for the Grand Opening of Universal Kids Resort on July 1, 2026. 🎉
Plan your “kidcation” now! Tickets, on-site hotel packages, and the park’s first annual pass option are now on sale. spr.ly/6018B8kCYo
