The least expensive of three options for a new Punta Gorda City Hall building would cost the city nearly $16 million. With that in mind, City Council on Jan. 15 chose to solicit estimates for repairing and rehabbing the 1927 building and its attached 1978 addition that were damaged during Hurricane Ian.
