In May 2006 Frisco voters approved almost $1 billion in bonds for building stuff. Most of the money will go to schools, but $100 million will go to roads. Frisco will build so many roads that when you look out your car window for the next 24.3 years, this will be the only thing you see:
But all this hard work is paying off because sometime this summer (as long as the population growth rate continues) Frisco will join a select city list, which is composed only of those with 100,000 proud citizens.
Recent news items: Frisco Visual Arts Guild moved downtown, soccer is booming, they've got the new fancy toll bridge going in over Lake Lewisville, the new central fire station opens next week, etc.
Below are population numbers from the past year, courtesy the city, plus other reference points. In the future, Frisco will continue to be at the forefront of a lot of, ah, things that will spur growth. These things will be terrific, thanks to innovative system and data validation processes; highly efficient, flexible workflow implementations; and award-winning information access solutions with enhanced magnification and enrichment augmentation supplements that make YOU a winner.
