Developers outline holistic resort plans at Liberty Village community

The Hurricane Planning Commission made significant strides in its recent meeting on May 22, 2025, focusing on the development of a new community that aims to blend holistic living with tourism. The proposed project, which is being likened to a resort rather than a traditional gated community, is designed to attract visitors interested in healthy living and alternative medicine.

Key discussions centered around the creation of a managed residential complex that will include both long-term rental units and hotel-style accommodations. This innovative approach is intended to provide a unique experience for guests, allowing them to engage with the community and its offerings. The development will feature individual casitas, all under a single management structure, ensuring consistent service and amenities.

Commission members expressed enthusiasm about the project, highlighting its potential to enhance the local economy and tourism sector. The vision for this community is to create a destination that emphasizes wellness and nature, drawing in visitors who are already customers of local health-focused businesses.

While zoning concerns were initially raised regarding the classification of the development, it appears that the project can conform to hotel use regulations, alleviating some of those worries. The commission is optimistic that this development will not only provide housing options but also contribute to the area's agricultural heritage, as seen in the nearby Liberty Village.

As the planning process continues, the commission remains committed to ensuring that the project aligns with community values and enhances the overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike. The next steps will involve further discussions on zoning and management strategies to ensure the successful implementation of this ambitious vision.
