Frisco Town Manager Nancy Kerry publicly announced her resignation Thursday in what she called a “very difficult decision” to step down from the position to spend more time with her family.
Kerry was named town manager in December 2018 and said she plans to stick around likely until late April or early May to ensure there is a smooth transition to an interim town manager and ultimately a replacement.
In an interview with the Summit Daily News, Kerry said she loves her job, but the infrequency with which she was able to visit her family over the past year due to the pandemic has been difficult. After the sudden death of her sister-in-law, Chrissy, who she called a “bright light,” Kerry decided it was time to move closer to family.

The Frisco Pedestrian Promenade will return to Main Street this summer, and with more than three months to plan, officials are hopeful they’ll be able to improve on the concept from last year.
The Frisco Town Council discussed the future of the promenade during a work session Tuesday, March 9, and while a consensus ultimately formed to bring the attraction back along with some improvements some members of the council pushed back against its return.

Frisco will be taking a deeper look into environmentalism and other social factors as it examines its investments moving forward.
The Frisco Town Council dove into potential changes to the town’s investment strategy during a work session discussion Tuesday, Feb. 23, focusing on whether to add additional criteria to its decision-making matrix when it comes to investing taxpayer dollars.
Frisco has invested $27.6 million in public funds, all of which is broken up into three types of holdings: 78% into local government investment pools, 18% into certificates of deposits (CDs) and 4% into U.S. treasuries and agencies. The town traditionally has followed three criteria for smart investing, which look into safety, liquidity and yield. During the meeting Tuesday, officials discussed adopting a fourth criterion known as an ESG framework, or environmental, social and governance framework.
