The city of Punta Gorda has a jewel in Charlotte County. The jewel within the city is IMPAC and the purchase of this complex is a project that the county taxpayers cannot afford. It is no more feasible than Murdock Village. The outcome will be the same as Murdock Village if our county commissioners approve the nearly $3 million to purchase this jewel. This idea of buying the IMPAC building as an incubator for young entrepreneurs or any other reason should be totally scrapped.
