City Elections: Bob Langford on Hacienda and Redevelopment

We asked each candidate for New Port Richey City Council what they thought should be done with city-owned properties.

We are getting assistance from the Pasco Economic Development Council and are soliciting for ideas from the public on what's the desired use for the Hacienda.  We're having a workshop tomorrow (March 12) on this very subject.  We, with the PEDC, have an on-line questionnaire right now seeking comments regarding this.  This is unique in that it can give anyone the opportunity to weigh in on what they would like to see.  

We are working with the PEDC, also, on the Church and P.O. sites.  We have discussed a business incubator for the PO among other items.  FL Sunshine Law stops me here.
