Bury The Lines - Approved! |
Due to a collaborative effort from the Frisco Chamber of Commerce, City of Frisco, the Frisco Independent School District, Frisco commercial property owners, and the Bury the Lines team, are pleased to announce that in a 2-1 decision, the PUC has approved burying the lines for much of Main Street. They accepted the amended stipulation which has the city participating in part of the cost of burying the proposed overhead lines. There will be a short segment near 423 that will be above ground.
The Frisco Chamber of Commerce and the Frisco Chamber of Commerce Governmental Affairs Committee worked tirelessly with intervenors to help bring what we feel is the best possible solution to the overhead line issues on Main Street. On Friday, February 12, the Frisco Chamber of Commerce signed the settlement stipulation at the Chamber office. This nearly two-year long process would not have been a success without the cooperative efforts of all involved.
