North Port United’ Tour making next stop at The Jockey Club of North Port-has been cancelled due to damage from hurricane Milton.

We hope that everyone is safe from Hurricane Milton.

The storm has certainly had a major effect on our lives. Due to the storm, the venues where we had planned to hold a couple of our events have sustained damage, which requires us to cancel out this event. 

If we are able to reschedule these events in the near future you will hear from us via email.

We wish you all the best if you suffered any losses from this storm.

The Board of Directors, North Port Forward


The tour is sponsored by North Port Forward, a nonprofit organization that encourages F2F dialogue and civic involvement.


Thank you.

City Manager Jerome Fletcher's “North Port United” Tour, a series of community engagement and discussion sessions, is coming to the Talon Bay Community Center at 6 p.m. Wednesday, November 13, 2024

“North Port United” is aimed at bringing together City leadership and North Port residents to discuss the future of our growing city.

Sessions have been held in various parts of the City and have touched on topics including the City’s Charter Amendment Referendum, Commission Elections, budget, zoning, the widening of Price Boulevard, the future of Warm Mineral Springs Park and more. “

This is an exciting time to be in North Port, with a lot of change and growth happening all around us,” said City Manager Jerome Fletcher. "Events like these are a great way for the public to hear the latest information from their City officials and ask questions and engage with us about the issues that matter to them and affect their quality of life.”

The tour is sponsored by North Port Forward, a nonprofit organization that encourages F2F dialogue and civic involvement.

The November 13th event will include a brief presentation and an opportunity for citizens to have their questions answered by City staff.
