said. With a project that has about $300 million attached to it, he said all those moving parts can take several years to pull together. Part of the delay in con- struction also comes from the COVID-19 pandemic, which put a wrench in the development’s timeline and delayed the planned June 2020 groundbreaking, Ter- rell said. “It’s going to be exciting for both the city, the citizens and us developers because for the first time again since COVID, we’re back on track,” he said. The city’s and the develop- er’s involvement together in the process so far has been integral to the success of the project and “raises it to another level,” Terrell said.
Talley said the task force looked at traffic and usabil- ity studies to help determine the best location and the best uses for the library. “We looked at every possi- ble angle that we could,” Tal- ley said. “I’m really proud of the process.” The task force narrowed down the library location to three options: the former senior center on Parkwood Drive, Bicentennial Park and Carillon Parc.

Work on the streets and infrastructure is expected to begin in early 2023. Ter- rell told Community Impact in June that infrastruc- ture, including utility work and roads, is expected to take about nine months to complete. Library Task Force After 21 years in the base- ment of City Hall, the South- lake Public Library is slated to move to a new location as part of the Carillon Parc development. Southlake Council Member Kathy Talley said when the library opened in September
2001, the library was meant to remain in the location for only two years. The Southlake library is 12,080 square feet, making it the second-smallest library when compared to neighbor- ing cities Richardson, Hurst, Allen and North Richland Hills, second only to Euless’ 6,500-square-foot library, according to city docu- ments. The Colleyville Public Library is 24,000 square feet, and the Grapevine Public Library is 54,500 square feet. In December 2021, the Library Task Force was cre- ated and charged with deter- mining improvements to
better meet the community’s needs and the best location for a new library. “Our recommendation [was to] create a library that is a family-friendly, collab- orative community center- piece that is inviting, warm, filled with natural light and accessible to everyone,” said Talley, who was a member of the task force.
