Located on the waterfront, the Center offers panoramic views, from its Great Lawn and Riverwalk, of the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor.

According to Boston Culinary Group President Joe Armstrong, “Port Charlotte has come back strong from Hurricane Charlie in 2004 and we are proud to be part of the rebuilding of the community. Our management team in Florida is excited about adding another client to our family,” Jim Finch, Recreation Program Supervisor for the Center added, “Charlotte County looks forward to a long and prosperous partnership with Boston Culinary Group in providing for the food & beverage needs of our clients and guests at our facility."

Senior Vice President Sal Ferrulo will oversee the operation. “We have already delivered some great events at the Center and look forward to a fantastic Grand Opening weekend January 10.”
