More than 30 years of local projects started with a vote in 1994.

That’s when Charlotte County’s original 1% Local Option Sales Tax program began. Since then, voters have approved five extensions of the program, helping fund projects throughout our community.

The current sales tax expires Dec. 31, 2026. Voters will decide whether to extend it again in the Nov. 3, 2026, Florida General Election.

Tiny trucks, BIG recognition! 🚧🏆

Charlotte County Public Works earned a 3CMA Savvy Award for its Tiny Trucks, BIG Fun outreach activity!

This mini construction zone uses remote-controlled construction equipment and homemade “dirt” to create a fun, hands-on experience for kids and families at community events.

With a little creativity and a few simple materials, the Public Works team turned a low-cost idea into an activity that keeps visitors coming back for more.

Congratulations to our Public Works team on this BIG achievement! 👏

Rec centers. Event spaces. Boat ramps. Splash parks. Fire stations. Libraries. And more.

Charlotte County Sunday Evening Chats

Why a 20-year term?

Deputy County Administrator Emily Lewis explains how a 20-year term can give Charlotte County more flexibility to deliver projects sooner and increase buying power through bonds.

The goal of the 20-year term is to avoid delaying projects while construction costs continue to rise. If projects can move forward sooner through bonds, the County can help avoid paying higher costs later due to inflation.

Charlotte County also has a strong track record of paying off bonds.

Tune in each Sunday this month as Emily answers some of residents’ most asked questions about the 1% Local Option Sales Tax.

On Sept. 12, 2001, Sal Annerino reported to Ground Zero with the New York City Department of Sanitation.

For months, he helped oversee cleanup and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site, working alongside agencies and crews who came together with one mission.

Twenty-five years later, Sal now calls Charlotte County home. He still carries the memories of what he saw, the people he worked beside and a piece of steel from the Twin Towers.

We sat down with Sal to hear his story, why he dedicated his motorcycles to 9/11 and what he hopes younger generations never forget.

We remember.
