North Report

In this powerful episode of Voices of North Port, we sit down with Jill Luke, a longtime resident, businesswoman, and former City Commissioner. From her first impressions of North Port and her role at Patriot Self Storage to her deep connection with Warm Mineral Springs, Jill shares what makes this city feel like home. We also reflect on some of the most defining—and difficult—moments of her public service, including the Gabby Petito case and the hiring of City Manager Jerome Fletcher. Through laughter, tears, and candid stories, Jill offers a moving portrait of resilience, leadership, and community spirit.
