The Charlotte County Commission will vote today on a controversial real estate deal that could — depending on whom you ask — be a boon for economic growth in the county, a cutting-edge way to offer the public high-tech library ­services or another drain on taxpayers.

Commissioners will discuss the acquisition of the former IMPAC university complex in Punta Gorda and hear public comment at the commission’s regular agenda meeting at the county administration building in Murdock beginning at 9 a.m.
