County selects Murdoch Square as local preference in 2026 LGAO application to push affordable housing forward
Summary
The county's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee recommended, and the commission approved, selecting Murdoch Square as the local preference for Florida Housing's 9% tax‑credit round; staff said the site scored higher on state goals (Live Local Act, proximity to services).
Colleen Turner of Charlotte County Human Services summarized the Charlotte Home review committee and AHAC deliberations and said the Housing Trust Group’s Murdoch Square was deemed more competitive for Florida Housing's 2026 9% tax credit application. Turner said Murdoch Square met more scoring goals in the amended RFA and noted both applications (Blue Deep Creek Phase 2 and Murdoch Square) were strong contenders.
"Housing Trust Group contends that they qualify for 5 of the 8 separate goals within Florida Housing's review process," Turner said, and staff agreed Murdoch Square was more competitive in 2026. Commissioners approved the AHAC recommendation and authorized the chairman to sign required verification forms to certify local contribution if the developer is selected by Florida Housing.
