CITY OF LIBERTY HILL
SAVE OUR STARSThe night sky in Texas is renowned for its Stars at Night, a distinction that is the result of the commitment and efforts of the residents and businesses in the Texas Hill Country.
LIBERTY HILL’S INITIATIVE
THE JOURNEY TO DARK SKIES
In 2022, Liberty Hill successfully passed a lighting ordinance to enhance our night sky through responsible outdoor lighting and signage. The stunning night sky that graces Liberty Hill truly contributes to our identity as the best small town, with a big heart, in Texas.
Setting clear rules for outdoor lighting & signs help preserve local charm, enhance safety, and lessen the negative impacts of excessive or misplaced light. Over the past two years, a group of local residents have teamed up with city leaders, city planners, lighting experts, scientists, and other professionals from DarkSky Texas.
In 2024, Liberty Hill submitted its application to become the first Williamson County Dark Sky Place certified by DarkSky International. We are very excited to have taken this first step on our journey to preserve our night skies.
