Charlotte County Commissioners unanimously voted March 12 to accept their consultant team and staff’s recommendation to demolish the Cultural Center and replace it with a new facility on the 8.03-acre site in Port Charlotte. 

The new facility’s total cost is yet to be determined, but it was estimated at $46 million and is budgeted for fiscal year 2028.
