In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis and the Florida Department of Financial Services will be setting up two insurance villages to assist consumers with insurance claims and other needs. The villages will be located in Charlotte and Lee counties. The Port Charlotte locations will become operational at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, October 3, 2022; the Ft. Myers location will be announced soon and is expected to open Tuesday.
