CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (Sept. 25, 2026) – The Charlotte County Commission has scheduled a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of improvements to G.C. Herring Park at 8 a.m., Sept. 29.
Phase I of the park improvements was funded through the 2020 1% local option sales tax and delivers a broad range of amenities designed to serve residents of all ages and interests.
