Frisco EDC launches improvement incentive program for Rail District businesses, property owners

Eligible improvements include both interior and exterior changes, such as:

• Upgrading sprinkler systems
• Upgrading electrical systems
• Replacing roofing, flooring or HVAC systems
• Making facade improvements to awnings, canopies or signage

The Frisco EDC board will evaluate the projects during a preapproval process, according to the release. Approved applicants may be reimbursed up to 50% for approved development expenses after the improvements are finished.

“Our goal is to help attract a daytime and nighttime economy to the Rail District to support more commerce in the area,” Dudley said.

Zooming out

The pilot program focuses on businesses inside the Rail District, which the release defines as a portion of downtown Frisco generally located between four streets:

• First Street
• Eubanks Street
• Maple Street
• Dogwood Street

Next steps

Interested Rail District business and property owners can find more information and program applications on the EDC’s website.
