CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (FLV) – As recovery from Hurricane Ian continues, Charlotte County is holding multiple community recovery workshops in July.

Charlotte County Emergency Management invited the public to be a part of creating a long-term recovery plan.

“Resilient residents of Charlotte County! We need your voice, your ideas, and your vision to pave the way for a stronger and more resilient community. The Hurricane Ian Long-Term Recovery Steering Committee invites you to be a part of creating our Long-Term Recovery Plan!” the post said.

Community Recovery Workshops

  • Englewood: July 14, 2:00 p.m. Location Englewood Charlotte Library 3450 N. Access Road, Englewood.
  • Punta Gorda: July 15, 10:30 a.m. Punta Gorda Charlotte Library, 401 Shreve St., Punta Gorda.

“Creating a shared vision of a resilient Charlotte County is the goal of this plan. We need engagement from our citizens, stakeholders, workforce and government,” Emergency Management Director Patrick Fuller said in a press release.

The county also shared a survey for residents to complete online.

The results of both the workshops and surveys will be included in the long-term recovery plan.

Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida late 2022 as a Category 4 storm.
