the City of Southlake envisioned as a center of activities and downtown for the City —a
community gathering place for events and entertainment, a place to conduct commerce
and the heart of our City's government. Working with the City of Southlake leaders,
Stebbins' passion, determination and attention to detail brought Southlake Town Square
to life. Southlake Town Square is recognized nationally and internationally as an
authentic hometown community —the standard for downtown developments."
Mayor Terrell asked Council if they concurred with the proposed language. There was
no opposition from Council.
