As part of the 2023 Village Center Redevelopment Plan, the current site of Town Hall at 8 Sundial Circle has been identified as a redevelopment location. Originally envisioned by the Town Founders as an ideal spot for commercial activity, this property’s location makes it a valuable asset for the community’s future. In the unanimously approved 2025-2028 Town Council Strategic Plan, the evolution of the Town Hall property has been identified for exploration during the current fiscal year.
Since the site is Town-owned, we have the unique ability to control and guide the vision for what is developed here—something we cannot do with privately-owned commercial areas in Carefree.
Currently, the site generates no sales tax revenue while operating as Town Hall and the building is already limited in size and has aging infrastructure.
Redeveloping it into a vibrant commercial space could provide a new source of revenue to support community services, events, and infrastructure. This project is about using Town assets more effectively to strengthen Carefree’s long-term financial health.
