Following schematic design, the City received a proposal from Stantec, a consultant from the schematic design team, regarding design and engineering services related to the project.

The City adopted the Mansfield 2040 Future Land Use Plan on December 11th, 2023, which documented the desire from residents to see Historic Downtown increase its walkability, density, and variety of development while slowing down vehicular traffic.
