** Mission Statement - Southlake Economic Development Council
The Southlake Economic Development Council determined early
on that it (and the partnership) needed a clearly defined
statement of the mission they wanted to accomplish. The
following represents the Council's concensus effort to ar-
ticulate that position:
"The mission of the Southlake Economic Development
Council is to encourage orderly and acceptable eco-
nomic growth and expansion in Southlake through the
development of quality commercial and industrial
facilities."
