Beautification Advisory Board · 2026-06-23 · agenda_item

The City of Fort Myers Beautification Advisory Board is planning to develop a Master Plan for 2026. This plan aims to improve the board's organization and ensure proposals for funding are better received by leadership. The initiative is currently under review, with the board planning to vote on a chair and establish clear objectives for the upcoming year. The master plan will define the board's goals and direction, focusing on filling vacant seats, meeting consistently, and assigning owners to each objective. This process will involve developing strategies for landscaping city-owned property, beautifying roads and streets, and reviewing landscaping projects over $5,000. The board is also considering two programs: a Beautification Awards Program and Community Beautification Projects. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in landscaping, site preparation, and related fields may find opportunities as the board defines its objectives and potential projects. Early engagement could provide insight into future needs before formal plans and bids are established.
