Thanks to Mike DiPietro for this excellent find from 1977! What I find interesting is how this era finds the management plans for the Lake Tarleton region at an interesting crossroads. Not many years prior to this article, there were plans afoot to build 4,500 homes around Tarleton! By 1977, the scope of the plans had been downgraded to a mere condominium unit, a townhouse unit, single family dwellings, golf, tennis, and dining- making use of a scant 50% of the acreage.
It's astounding to think about how drastically different our current shared experience of Lake Tarleton might be if any of these plans had come to fruition. Although not mentioned in this article, undoubtably many of the players who were to have a part in preserving the lake and the surrounding land were already in motion. And for that, we thank them!
