Florida Senate has passed the bill to dissolve Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District

This just in… The Florida Senate has passed the bill to dissolve Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District.

Governor Ron Desantis just yesterday asks lawmakers to repeal the law that allowed the Walt Disney World Resort to operate as a self-governing body.

“I am announcing today that we are expanding the call of what they are going to be considering this week,’’ DeSantis said at a news conference in The Villages. “Yes, they will be considering the congressional map, but they also will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968 — and that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District.”

Reedy Creek Improvement District (the “District”) is a progressive form of government, created in 1967 by a special Act of the Florida Legislature, the purpose of which is to support and administer certain aspects of the economic development and tourism within District boundaries.  With an administration office located on Hotel Plaza Boulevard in Lake Buena Vista, the District encompasses approximately 25,000 acres in both Orange and Osceola counties, servicing 19 landowners, including Walt Disney Co. and its wholly-owned affiliates. RCID operates in accordance with its Charter and Chapter 189, Florida Statutes, The Uniform Special Districts Accountability Act.  Additional information contained in legislation. Click here to view the District Charter.

Now the bill moves to the Florida House. Stay tuned to Chip and Company for more details.
