Frisco calls hearing on $70M Fields West parking garage funding

Frisco officials are considering ways to fund three to six parking garages in the Fields West development, which could cost $70 million.

City Council members voted at a meeting Oct. 7 to call a public hearing on the parking garages funding.

The details: The hearing, slated for Oct. 21 during the regular council meeting, will be held to determine if the city should issue debt to cover the cost of the parking garages. The funding could come from the tax increment reinvestment zone, or TIRZ, where Fields West is located. A TIRZ allows a city to create a tax base in a specific zone and use those collected funds for improvement projects, such as parking. 

The board that oversees the TIRZ will also meet Oct. 21 before the regular council meeting to discuss the parking garage funding.
