Frisco’s proposed animal facility could cost up to $24M amid county shelter discussions

Plans are changing slightly for Frisco’s proposed public-private animal facility.

What’s happening? At a May 19 work session, Frisco City Council and city staff discussed updated plans for the proposed 21,000-square-foot animal services facility, which city officials said could cost up to $24 million. Frisco City Council approved signing a letter of intent for the project in November, but the city has not finalized an agreement as officials continue working through operational details, costs and facility design.

Zooming out: Plans for the proposed facility could also be impacted by the city's relationship with the Collin County Animal Shelter. Schmidt said because the county is looking to "sever the relationship" it has with Frisco for the shelter, the services provided to Frisco by the county shelter could instead be provided by the potential city facility under the current proposal.

"Recently, the Collin County Commissioners Court discussed its intent to not renew its shelter service agreement with the city of Frisco, which would cause that service to end in November 2028,” the city’s website states.

Cost to prevent a Texas water crisis has more than doubled to $174B, state says

Texas officials released a draft of their next state water plan in April, projecting that state and local governments will need to spend $174 billion in the next 50 years to prevent a water crisis.

The details: The three-member Texas Water Development Board voted April 16 to publish an initial draft of the 2027 State Water Plan, laying out what is needed to prepare for a future “drought of record,” when water demands are highest and supplies are lowest.

The $174 billion price tag is more than twice the cost projected in Texas’ 2022 state water plan, which was $80 billion.

The context: As Texas’ population continues to grow, water restrictions and shortages are becoming more common in areas throughout the state. At the same time, major companies are moving to Texas and communities are contemplating large data center projects, with some residents expressing concerns about high water use in the already drought-prone state.

The proposed plan includes 3,000 proposed water management projects and 6,700 strategies to increase Texas' water supplies through 2080.
