Council decides not to move forward with investigating potential purchase of Village Center property

The Mission Viejo City Council on Thursday decided not to move forward with investigating a potential purchase of Village Center property where the CVS store is located on Marguerite Parkway.  

The seller put the Core Area property up for sale to the public and invited the City to make an offer to purchase the property upon which CVS operates.  

The Council held the special public meeting Thursday to consider potentially directing staff to move forward with researching the feasibility of placing an offer – step one of a multi-step process. After residents offered their views, the Council voted not to proceed with that research process, and the City will not pursue the idea any further.
