One of the most contentious bond propositions in 2015 was for a performing arts center.

The Citizen Bond Committee, Frisco City Council and voters were split on the issue, but the $10 million bond still passed.

Now in order to determine what kind of performing arts center the city needs, the Frisco Association for the Arts, the city’s official nonprofit arts agency, finished a feasibility study in fall 2015.

Page Architects, the same company that built the MCL Grand in Lewisville, helped conduct the study and interviewed businesses and non-profit organizations across multiple arts disciplines.

The study looked at the local needs for different arts disciplines as well as the spatial requirements for a center in Frisco.

The study determined five different scenarios for a center based on interviews from stakeholders, Frisco Arts President Tammy Meinershagen said.

Each scenario includes potential costs for the center, she said.

Meinershagen said Frisco Arts plans to present the study to City Council in January to receive input.

“Since our City Council is ultimately in charge of making the decision for approving [the sale of] these bonds and moving the project forward, I encourage everyone to be informed and keep up with the process,” she said. “Your voice matters, and if this project is important to you, be willing to ask questions, meet with potential candidates for council and get involved.”

After the study is presented to council, Meinershagen said the next step is to find additional funding, possibly through private partners. A total of $14 million in bonds have been approved by voters from the 2015 and the 2006 bond elections to go toward an arts facility.
