The proposed annexation also includes nearly 5 acres of land owned by affordable housing developer ADC Westridge. The development, Westridge Villas, is being constructed to have 132 multifamily units, 56 of which would be affordable housing.
The public hearing begins at 5 p.m. at Frisco City Hall, 6101 Frisco Square Blvd.
