Charlotte County Vulnerability Assessment Adopted
Summary
The county formally adopted its flood and sea-level-rise risk study — the ticket to Resilient Florida grant money. It flags 43 exposed buildings, 158 miles of roadway at risk, and could lose over 2,000 acres of protective wetlands by 2070. Discussion included rebuilding Port Charlotte Middle School on the high-and-dry Bachman Tract with a co-located hurricane shelter.

Impact analysis
The study itself was externally funded, and adoption unlocks state resiliency grants; actual adaptation projects could cost millions.
Coastal and low-lying neighborhoods, plus schools, hospitals and emergency facilities that could qualify for hardening dollars.
