Acknowledgments

In January 2008 a symposium entitled Achieving Growth Management through Public Open Space Acquisition: Realities and Prospects was held on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. At this symposium we brought together leading conservation and growth management scholars, planning practitioners, and conservation advocates to discuss the role that land acquisition might play in promoting growth management efforts in Florida (and elsewhere). The original intent of the event was deceptively simple: to evaluate the role that the Florida Forever land acquisitions have had in promoting the states growth management goals. We had hoped that this event might help in the push to have Florida Forever expanded in the coming decades as Florida deals with its ongoing developmentpreservation struggle.

However, as the event progressed it became clear to all involved that public policy in the areas of growth management and land acquisition is often shaped by what we think is effective policy, rather than what we know to be effective policy. Our discussions during the event led the participants to conclude that there is much to be learned about the opportunities and challenges faced by planners and policymakers at the nexus of growth management and land conservation. While there clearly are strong connections between the two initiatives, little empirical investigation has been undertaken at this nexus. Ultimately, this recognition of our wide gap in knowledge and the general quality of the presentations at the symposium led us to pursue this edited volume.

It is worth noting that this symposium was yet another in a long line of events sponsored by the DeVoe Moore Center for the Study of Critical Issues in Economic Policy and Government at Florida State University (http://www.coss.fsu.edu/dmc/). The mission of the DeVoe Moore Center is to increase knowledge and public understanding about the role of government in a market economy and to study how government rules, regulations, and programs affect the economy. The Center has been a great resource for faculty in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, the institutional home of the editors, and for the state of Florida as it wrestles with the many problems associated with its usually fast growing economy. We greatly appreciate the financial support from the DeVoe Moore Center, spearheaded by Center Director Keith Ihlanfeldt, and also thank Keith for his suggestions that we market the event to both scholarly and practitioner audiences.

An edited volume like this one cannot proceed without effort from a great number of people whose names are not attached to chapters in the book. Most notably, Kathy Makinen of the DeVoe Moore Center provided outstanding copyediting services for the book. Every chapter in this volume is better because of her excellent work and her suggestions for simpler and more direct language. We also thank the wonderful staff at Ashgate Publishing for their help in seeing us through the publication process.

Lastly, we offer thanks to the many planners and environmental advocates that contributed indirectly to this volume. A great many individuals took time to answer questions from the various chapter authors, provided input via interviews or surveys, or read and commented on paper drafts. The book is far better for their input.
