The developers of a proposed resort and residential living area in Uptown have officially withdrawn their interest in moving forward with the project.
The Sedona Planning and Zoning Commission heard in June for the second time a proposal from LodgeWorks, which at the time was in escrow to purchase 19.45 acres of land down Art Barn Road off State Route 89A in Uptown. However, last week it was announced that the developer had decided against the project.
“We have withdrawn our current plans,” LodgeWorks President Mike Daood wrote in an email to the Sedona Red Rock News. “To be successful, the site must address local needs and also be economically viable. If we’re fortunate enough to again explore a development opportunity in Sedona, we’d jump at the chance. We have met so many stakeholders over the past 18 months, all welcoming and passionate about Sedona. It’s clear why it’s such a special place.”
