Dynamic Planning + Science collaborated with the Town of Frisco to develop the 2024 Strategic Housing Plan, addressing critical workforce housing shortages driven by rising housing costs, limited inventory, and increasing demand. The plan combines data-driven analysis, community engagement, and strategic planning to create actionable solutions that balance economic stability, environmental sustainability, and the town’s unique character. Key recommendations focus on increasing the supply of workforce housing, optimizing the use of existing housing stock, streamlining development processes, and leveraging public-private partnerships to meet Frisco’s long-term housing needs.
