Pulaski County CDC Director Discusses Initiation of Redevelopment Commission
Pulaski County Community Development Commission Executive Director Nathan Origer brought forth the idea of a redevelopment commission to the county commissioners during their recent meeting.
Origer explained that there are opportunities the county could be missing out on without a redevelopment commission.

They can sell it or lease it to tenants than a municipal entity on its own could. The other thing is setting up TIF Districts.”
