The city of Southlake is looking to acquire more open space that supports its infrastructure goals and protects identified natural resources and that is accessible to the public.

The Open Space Acquisition strategy was presented at a Southlake City Council meeting on Feb. 15.

The process to add more open space would involve a preliminary review, City Council consideration, initiation of acquisition process and completion of acquisition.

The Open Space Acquisition strategy has not yet been adopted by the city. Staffers are looking for feedback so they can make changes before presenting a final version for council to consider.

“Once and if we get to a point where we’re ready to complete the acquisition, we would come back to council with a final funding plan and make a final recommendation,” assistant city manager Alison Ortowski said.

If the council decides to move forward with the policy, the process for acquisition would then begin.
