Are you seeking a business opportunity in Port Charlotte, Florida?

The Port Charlotte area was largely planned and developed by the now-defunct General Development Corporation, which also developed many other subdivisions and municipalities along Florida's west coast. Port Charlotte is not a chartered municipality but is, however, the most-populated area in Charlotte County.

Port Charlotte is home to the Port Charlotte Town Center Mall, the Charlotte County Administration Center (home of the Charlotte County Commission chambers) as well as Charlotte Sports Park which is the current spring training home of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Port Charlotte was hard hit by Hurricane Charley on August 13, 2004. Since then, the area has undergone an extensive makeover, making it an ideal spot to buy a business.
