NORTH PORT – North Port city commissioners will consider acting on a citizens’ petition to contract the city boundaries and remove more than 15,900 acres of prime development west of the Myakka River, as proposed last year by residents who live in Wellen Park.
The commission will review a citizens petition filed in October 2020, as well as a feasibility study of the idea by Fort Lauderdale-based Munilytics, at a special meeting starting at 9 a.m. Thursday at North Port City Hall, 4970 City Hall Blvd.
The final study draft suggests that the city could lose nearly $21 million in tax revenue over the first five years if the commission were to approve an ordinance contracting the city’s boundaries.
