Charlotte County, FL, USA

We love living in Charlotte Harbor and chose this area because it wasn’t too built up. We need to protect our natural environment more than increase development and commercial opportunities.

Jane supported: Oppose Rezoning Harborview Floodplain for commercial use

My husband, our children, and I spend a great deal of time at Charlotte Harbor. It’s a special place for our family—close to home, peaceful, and full of natural beauty. We cherish the time we spend there together, whether it’s fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the shoreline. Keeping Charlotte Harbor the way it is means preserving not just an ecosystem, but a part of our daily lives and family memories. We strongly believe it should remain untouched so that future generations can enjoy the same experiences we treasure today.

Christina supported: Oppose Rezoning Harborview Floodplain for commercial use

This development has always been bare land ever since I was a kid, I remember every day on my way to school on the bus, seeing the fog over the pine trees and the cows roaming on the other side of the fence. It makes me sick to my stomach, seeing all of the new, and extremely destructive developments going in around town, but it hits harder when the land that’s being developed is something you had fond memories of as a kid.

Kim supported: Oppose Rezoning Harborview Floodplain for commercial use

This floodplain is part of the watershed for the National Charlotte Harbor Estuary, and development will contribute to runoff of pollutants , including oil, that threaten the value of the Estuary as a productive fish nursery. It threatens the essential sea grass and will contribute to a deterioration of a productive Estuary, a major contributor to tourism and the reason people have moved to the region, which can no longer support a development like this.
