The Frisco Town Council held a high-level conversation about how to approach events moving forward, hoping to take advantage of the year-plus drought of gatherings to ensure the town’s festivals, concerts and contests are meeting the town’s goals.
Frisco officials broached the topic during a lengthy work session discussion Tuesday, Feb. 23. While no decisions were made with regard to what events will stay and what might go, the conversation did provide insights into how the Town Council and staff evaluate events.

Despite the pandemic, High Country Conservation Center met some of its 2020 sustainability goals, such as enrolling businesses in its sustainability program and providing home energy assessments. The environmental nonprofit also focused efforts on recycling and water conservation, which were outlined along with other 2020 accomplishments at the Breckenridge Town Council meeting Jan. 26.
Executive Director Jennifer Schenk said the center completed 15 Solarize Summit projects in Breckenridge last year. The program offers local residents and businesses discounts on solar panel installation.
“Our overall Solarize Summit program across the community was down a little bit, primarily because of COVID, but we still had a ton of success with the program,” Schenk said. “People absolutely love it, and they love the $1,500 rebates. We feel like that is really moving the needle in terms of energy efficiency and carbon reduction.�
