Punta Gorda Plans for future

Punta Gorda plans for future: Punta Gorda is not your typical Southwest Florida town — there’s no beach to draw tourists, no mini-mansion, no tax-generating building trend, no Dunk City basketball.

But this city of about 17,000 shines among every municipality in the state when it comes to preparing for climate change and sea level rise. Punta Gorda is listed as one of the most progressive cities in the world in the 2014 National Climate Assessment, an inter-agency effort that grew out of the Global Change Research Act of 1990.

…”In part, Punta Gorda is a real community and their leadership on the city council is drawn from people who are really working and living in that community,” Beever said. “…You see a lot of volunteerism in the community, and they actively talked about ‘what are we going to do. Are we going to rebuild? Are we going to do it better and how are we going to do it better?'”
