The Charlotte County Community Development Department, Building Division, is hosting the Fourth annual Southwest Florida Green Futures Expo. The event will be held on January 6, 2013 from 10 am to 3 pm at the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center, 75 Taylor Street, situated on the edge of Charlotte Harbor in beautiful downtown Punta Gorda, Florida.

The Expo is open and free to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 pm.

The past years this event has been successful in bringing the latest in advances for sustainability to residents not only from Port Charlotte, but also Lee, Sarasota, and Collier County. Given the central location of the Expo, the event is now being marketed more regionally. We are happy to announce that the cities of North Port,  Ft. Myers, Punta Gorda have officially signed up to support the SWFL Green Futures Expo this year.  

A variety of vendors from alternative medicine, natural foods, recycling, transportation, home construction and remodeling, etc., will be attending this year’s Expo and will be running raffles, product demonstrations, and discounts on their products.
