Jeff Cheney is a man with a diverse and successful career path. Back in 1998, he was a Senior Associate for Price Waterhouse Coopers. In 2000 he became the Director of Portfolio Operations for Highland Capital Management. Two years later, he joined Keller Williams forming The Cheney Group. Then in 2007, he became a councilman for The City of Frisco and served until 2016. During that time, around 2014 to 2015 he also became the President of Earth 911.
As his council term came to an end, Cheney decided to run for Mayor of Frisco, which paid off as soon as he won the election. In May of 2017, he officially became Mayor Jeff Cheney for The City of Frisco. Then in November of 2017, The Cheney Group joined The Associates, owned by Robert Elliott. In 2021, The Cheney Group moved one more time to join Monument Realty Group.
You thought we were done? Cheney also served as the owner of Frisco-Online.com from 2004 to 2017. In 2017, Frisco Online merged into Lifestyle Frisco that Cheney maintains a partnership. Today, Lifestyle Frisco touts on their website they are the guide for “What to Do, Where to Go, and Who to KNOW” around Frisco! In 2021, Jeff Cheney told David Arkin with CheckoutDFW.com that shortly after his second child was born he unloaded their life savings to buy FriscoOnline.com, and looking back, what a smart investment, it was. He went on to say that FriscoOnline.com was hitting 4-5 million page views a month which played a big part in his real estate business. Finally, Jeff is known to love Yoga and his family owns Hot Body Yoga in Frisco.
Some might say when he took office in May of 2017 that Frisco became Cheneyville and a sanctuary for wealthy people! He is known to love urban planning and development and has been quoted many times that he loved how Frisco was a blank slate. Cheney takes great pride in that he helped plan out the remaining space in The City of Frisco. One key thing he wanted to pass was an ordinance that future developments have a certain percentage of open space.
Unfortunately, Cheney has advocated for growth and big named developments all while ignoring residents’ calls to slow down! Truth is, some of these developments are great for the city and its residents, and then some leave people to question, why did Mayor Cheney and the City Council approve that?
In the last few years, Frisco has been recognized as the fastest-growing city in America, and the best place to live by Money Magazine. Without a doubt, Jeff Cheney has played a big role in Frisco! The only question now is, did Cheney do all this for the residents, or did he do it for himself?
How much has Cheney made off Frisco?
Bbbb
Everyone is soon going to know who YOU are.
Holy smokes, me thinks that someone has launched another friscochronicles website to out you dude.
great where. would love to read it.
You mean how much has he made himself? The guys career as a city politician has ethics investigation written all over it. He owns the largest real estate company in the fastest growing city in America…hmmm. He’s screwed the residents of this city by driving up the Cost of Living on all goods and services through unsustainable rapid growth. While his real estate company has been enriched from importing large amounts of liberal Californian’s. He controls the local Frisco Monthly Newspaper… he owns the news narrative. His face is all over that newspaper, not as the mayor, but promoting his monopoly real estate company. You will never see another real estate company ad in that newspaper, not a coincidence. Taking numerous campaign donations from developers that somehow always get their projects approved here in Frisco… like tearing up good roads all over the city so his buddies construction company can repave it. Crime is now starting to be rampant due to his expansion. He seems to really hate the residents of this city. The guys a major douche!
