1. Public Hearing: Certificate of Review

The Historic Preservation Commission in Fort Myers is reviewing a Certificate of Review application for a new driveway at 2634 Cortez Boulevard. This property is located within the Edison Park Historic District. The project is currently under review, meaning plans are being considered but have not yet been finalized or approved. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for the driveway, likely including clearing, grading, and potentially underground utility work. Following this, concrete or paving work would be needed to construct the driveway itself, and final landscaping or site restoration may be required. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as site preparation, concrete, paving, and landscaping could find opportunities. Engaging early, before final site plans and permits are issued, allows businesses to understand the project scope and prepare to bid on the work.
