    SARASOTA, FL, June 04, 2010 /University PR News/ -- J.E. Charlotte Construction announces the construction start for the 6,400 square feet University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee (USFSM) location in North Port. The interior was designed by Debbie Graves of Fleischman-Garcia Architecture, Sarasota, Florida. The USFSM portion of the building in the Pan American Professional Center on U.S 41 will be complete well before classes begin in the fall. The new location will host more than 500 students plus faculty, offer a variety of courses and programs and will set the foundation for future growth.

"This move is a great example of community, private sector and government working together to create a much needed facility," said Jeff Charlotte. The City of North Port has agreed to provide incentive dollars annually for the first five years. North Port officials also agreed to waive all city impact fees, building permit fees and will help with additional parking and security. IBERIABANK provided the best possible lease agreement for USFSM and the estimating and planning team for Jeff Charlotte Construction Corp. worked diligently with trade partners to create a proposal within the budget guidelines. With Jeff Charlotte's reputation for completing interiors on time and within budget, students can expect to be in classrooms when the fall class schedule begins.

The North Port area has become practically a second office for the JEC Company as they have completed multiple projects over the years. The final build out will have four classrooms, seminar space, student work space and office space. USF Sarasota-Manatee has served the Venice, Englewood, North Port and surrounding areas for the past six years with courses that include undergraduate coursework in business, criminology, interdisciplinary social science, elementary education and psychology. At the Master's level students may pursue a degree in Educational Leadership. Due to the tremendous growth in enrollment, they are relocating to this new location and will be providing additional courses and programs including the General Business major.

With its reputation for completing jobs on schedule and on budget, J.E. Charlotte Construction enjoys lots of repeat business from its clients and works hard to nurture those relationships. J.E. Charlotte has lined up multiple high profile projects to begin the year and is nearing completion on several others.

Since opening in July 2007, J.E. Charlotte Construction Corp. has earned a reputation as a straightforward, honest and timely company.

J.E. Charlotte Construction's more than 30 years of experience and honest business practices has not only earned them repeat business but also plenty of referrals.
