Exactly.....then maybe there would be more to do than go to Bahama Bucks

Hmmm, and I wonder which developers that own the surrounding land are going to reap the majority of the benefits without dropping a dime except for political contributions. Hmmm, I do wonder??? Frisco tax payers pay for the park's development and the surrounding commercial land owners get the $$$$$$$$$$.

Nice work if you can get it or politically pay for it.

Do you have a developer in mind? Not being a smart ***, really curious.

The land to the west is being developed already. Rebel can chime in but I believe they are requesting a zone change to continue their development. And a church

North is land owned by the city (I think) East is the tollway and south is Starwood which is pretty much built out.

If what you imply was occurring I would be concerned, as it is, I don't think there is anyone who will "benefit" as you say.

All you have to do is look at the campaign finance reports by the city council on the city website. Not saying there is a ton there....but I'm pretty sure I saw a couple of developers for sure....that randomly contributed out of the blue.

It's Frisco, a city built on development. That they donated isn't surprising, illegal or unethical.

My question is how does it relate to Grand Park. Geographically, not sure why any of them would is my point.
