The Frisco Chamber of Commerce business owners and area residents are invited to join Mayor Maher Maso in his final Frisco Chamber’s annual State of the City Address. Mayor Maso will be joined by City Manager, George Purefoy, and Frisco Economic Development Corporation (EDC) President, James L.

“With the opening of The Star, the development of major mixed-use projects along the Dallas North Tollway, the commencement of Mayor Maso’s final year in office, and the pending retirement of City Manager George Purefoy, every business needs to be aware of how these changes might impact their operations,” said Tony Felker, President/CEO of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce.
This year’s State of the City Luncheon is sponsored by Texas Republic Bank and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano. "Texas Republic Bank is proud to be a lead sponsor, for the second year in a row, of the Frisco Chamber's State of the City luncheon. As the only bank headquartered in Frisco, it is only logical that we would partner with the Chamber as we celebrate all the exciting developments in this great city!" stated David Baty, President/CEO, Texas Republic Bank.
