Frisco named ninth 'Electric City' by national electrical-inspectors group
Summary
The International Association of Electrical Inspectors recognized Frisco as the ninth U.S. "Electric City" for its inspection training and code-enforcement practices; the designation highlights the city's investment in inspection staff and public safety.
Amanda Woznick, representing the International Association of Electrical Inspectors and the International Code Council, presented Frisco with an "electric city" certificate at the Jan. 6 council meeting. She said Frisco "becomes the ninth city in the nation to receive the electric city certificate of recognition," commending the city’s investment in inspection training and code enforcement.
Woznick told council that the recognition reflects local decisions to invest in staff capabilities, align permitting and inspection practices with national standards and reduce electrical hazards and fire risk in homes and businesses.
Why it matters: The recognition signals to residents and developers that the city is following national best practices for electrical safety and inspection training, which can support risk reduction and community resilience.
What’s next: The city will display the certificate and continue supporting training and code-enforcement efforts.
