33rd Annual Freedom Swim

JULY 4, 2024 TIME: This year’s Freedom Swim will start at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 4, 2024. Discussion with swimmers before the start will occur at 1:20 p.m. ROUTE: The 2024 Freedom Swim will start from Live Oak Point. Swimmers are to gather in the water offshore of the public beach and Riverwalk boardwalk at the northwest side of the north end of the northbound U. S. 41 Bridge. Swimmers will paddle, swim, or float to the channel and down the Peace River towards the landing site at Fishermen’s Village, exiting the water at Harpoon Harry’s. The crossing is estimated to take 40 minutes to 3 hours. There will be no Trolley Service As always this is intended to be a happening rather than a race. Although there will be numerous vessels escorting the swimmers across the river, each swimmer is responsible for their own safety and their own support team. Swim with a buddy, it’s safer and more fun. Various governmental agencies will be on the water. Vessels will be required to operate at idle speed in the Peace River Channel from the U. S. 41 Bridge to Marker Number 2 while swimmers are in the Channel. Boating safety is not an accident

Beware of Fake Websites Imitating Official County Services

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (May 21, 2024) – The Charlotte County Community Development Department would like to inform citizens about recent attempts to create malicious websites with URLs that closely resemble the official Citizen Access Portal address. The Citizen Access Portal provides online access to the county’s permits, licenses, plans review, code violations, and site plan review system. These fraudulent sites are designed to mimic Accela products and redirect users to unauthorized locations, potentially compromising personal information.

To ensure your security and protect your personal information, please verify that you are using the correct URL when accessing the Citizen Access Portal: https://aca-prod.accela.com/BOCC/Default.aspx?culture=en-US

If you have any further questions or need assistance, you are encouraged to submit a support case through the official support portal. Please visit: https://success.accela.com/s/article/Support-Portal-Success-A-best-practice-guide-to-partnering-with-Accela-Support
