A Cultural Affairs Master Plan is expected to help grow the city’s artistic and cultural sectors as Frisco continues to grow by working with community members to identify their goals for Frisco’s arts and culture, according to meeting documents.
Once completed, the master plan will provide more tourism and development-based goals, according to meeting documents.
Contract funds were available through the Parks and Recreation Department’s 2023-24 fiscal year budget, according to meeting documents.
