Murdock Village Redevelopment Initiative

21. Why is the Murdock Village redevelopment initiative different from any other development project?

The distinguishing characteristic with the Murdock Village redevelopment initiative is that it is an attempt by local government to address and change the complexion of a platted, but substantially vacant area. The project is different because of Charlotte County 's involvement and would not be possible without the provision and exercise of the many and varied tools available to government to cause this type of redevelopment and re-engineering. Admittedly, this is a bold step for any local government; but the County believes it is in the public interest to act proactively now to re-engineer and redevelop the area in order to seize a major opportunity to establish an economic and social hub for the future. Failure of the County to act today would make such a redevelopment opportunity cost prohibitive and even impossible in the near future.
