Public hearing over proposed Camdenton development set for June 7

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Camdenton Board of Aldermen unanimously voted Tuesday night to move forward with a proposed development, according to the city's assistant administrator.

In the 6-0 vote, the board approved a resolution for a pre-annexation agreement with MO Lake Development, LLC.

According to a news release from the developer, it wants to annex part of the land between Camdenton, Linn Creek, Highways 54 and 5 and the Lake of the Ozarks.

MO Lake Development says it wants to facilitate a public/private partnership and has plans for a mixed-use development on the property. Phase 1 of the project includes various housing options and a new hotel.

“Brandi and I live in this community, and we’re passionate about providing ample housing, better and more career opportunities for our young people, and more family-friendly and year-round Lake activities," said MO Lake Development founder and lead investor Blake Hodits, who also graduated from Camdenton High School.

Hodits and his sister, Brandi Freese, grew up near the property they now want to develop through their company.

"We’re exploring all options that will help us create a community that revolves around an active lifestyle for residents and visitors to the area,” Hodits said.

A public hearing over the proposal is set for 6 p.m. June 7 in the Camdenton City Hall.
