Charlotte County’s experience with devastating hurricanes over the last 20 years has county officials planning for the future. Hurricane-hardened structures are being built to house Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office administration offices, a 911 call center and the Supervisor of Elections. 

Funding became available for the new facilities from the voter-approved 1% local option sales tax from 2020. On June 4, public officials, including Sheriff Bill Prummell and Supervisor of Elections Leah Valenti, turned out for a groundbreaking ceremony at 3100 Loveland Blvd. in Port Charlotte. 

The projects are being built on county-owned land by Wharton-Smith Inc. with Justin Dunn as the facilities’ project manager.
