Murdock Village Redevelopment Initiative

7. Please explain how a redevelopment agency fits into the Murdock Village Redevelopment Initiative.

In April 2003 the County identified a redevelopment study area and asked for analysis from Real Estate Research Consultants, Inc. to further substantiate whether the area was in need of redevelopment. On May 27, 2003 the Board of County Commissioners conducted a duly advertised public hearing on the matter. In addition to being knowledgeable about the conditions in Charlotte County and the study area, the Board of County Commissioners considered County staff comments, expert opinions and public comment and input in addition to the data and analysis contained in the West Murdock Redevelopment Study Area Finding of Necessity Report, dated May 2003, prepared and presented by Real Estate Research Consultants, Inc. [Click here to view the West Murdock Redevelopment Study Area Finding of Necessity Report.]

Immediately after the May 27, 2003 public hearing the Board of County Commissioners determined that there was in fact a need for a redevelopment agency to carry out redevelopment provisions authorized by Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes (the "redevelopment Act 1969"). In doing so the County Commission made a series of findings and determinations which, among other things, designated the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Area [Click here to view a map of the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Area], created a Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency [Click here to learn more about the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency ] , and adopted a series of findings relating to conditions within the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Area [Click here to learn more about the blighted conditions which redevelopment can address.]. Accordingly, the County adopted its Resolution No. 2003-81, Resolution No. 2003-82 and entered into an interlocal agreement between the County and its redevelopment Agency; all in an effort to determine, declare and substantiate the need for redevelopment activities within the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Area.
