DUNEDIN â Two months from now, city officials expect to celebrate the acquisition of the 44-acre Gladys-Douglas Hackworth property. It's not quite a done deal, but recent actions city and county officials have taken is a breath of fresh air for them and the other partners involved in efforts to preserve the land. The next big step in the process of buying the land at the northeast corner of Virginia Avenue and Keene Road for $10 million is the closing in about two months. After months of discussions, negotiations and fundraising efforts, city commissioners Feb. 23 cleared the way for that. "I can't wait until we get to sign on the dotted line," Mayor Julie Ward Bujalski said.
