The parcel of land known as the Fiester Preserve in Frisco was at the center of the housing development debate in the Bill s Ranch neighborhood in February 2020. Now, key stakeholders have identified another parcel close to the preserve that is most preferred if development were to happen for a housing project.
Since it was formed in 2018, local nonprofit Staying in Summit has been focused on advocating and creating plans for a senior housing development in Summit County.
After assembling data, identifying potential parcels of land and working with two different developers, the organization presented its potential development to the Summit Board of County Commissioners during its work session meeting on Tuesday, June 1. But local officials are laser-focused on workforce housing needs, and it’s unclear whether this project will come to fruition.

A Summit County judge sentenced Joshua Ramras to four years of probation during a hearing at the Summit County Justice Center on Thursday, April 22. Ramras pleaded guilty to a felony assault charge after a fight with his roommate in 2019.
On Oct. 1 of that year, Frisco Police Department officers arrested Ramras after a fight left his roommate with knife wounds to the face and hand.
The confrontation began with a disagreement about the roommates’ living situation while the two were out to dinner, according to court documents. They returned home separately where the confrontation turned violent, and Ramras cut his roommate with a knife during the fight.
