Frisco Daily Local Headlines: The Mix milestone, ISD updates, FC Dallas draw
Frisco, TX – March 1, 2026 – Updates on The Mix mega-project, Frisco ISD weather days, the superintendent search, FC Dallas, and a new after-dark art event.
Here is what stood out around Frisco over the last few days, from big development timelines to school and sports updates.
The Mix project hits a new milestone
A major mixed-use redevelopment near Lebanon Road and the Dallas North Tollway has now been under construction for more than a year. The first phase (along the north end of the site) is planned to bring hundreds of new homes plus office and retail space, including a first-in-Frisco Whole Foods location. Developers say work has moved from heavy infrastructure into more visible building progress, with additional parking and tenant work expected to ramp up later this year.
Frisco ISD: weather days and superintendent search
Frisco ISD says its state waiver request for recent ice days was approved, meaning the district will not need to use bad-weather make-up days on the calendar. The school board also shared that, after multiple interview rounds, trustees expect to name a lone finalist for superintendent in March as the district prepares for the next leadership transition.
Toyota Stadium: FC Dallas earns a point
FC Dallas and Nashville SC played to a 0-0 draw Saturday night at Toyota Stadium. The club noted it was Dallas’ first shutout of the 2026 season and said the regular-season sellout streak at Toyota Stadium continued, with an announced crowd of 11,004.
Calendar watch: Nocturne returns in May
The city has refreshed details for Nocturne, an after-dark arts experience planned for May 8-9 at Frisco Commons Park. The event is described as a nighttime walk-through of light, video, and sound installations along a roughly one-mile route, with more artist and program details expected soon.
Quick takeaways
- Big buildout timelines are becoming clearer for the Tollway-side redevelopment.
- School calendars should hold steady after the ice-day waiver decision.
- Frisco’s spring event calendar is starting to fill in, especially for May.
