A rezoning proposal is under review for a property located approximately 4.5 miles west of the I-75/Colonial interchange. This property has access to Hanson Street, a state-maintained arterial roadway. The surrounding area is characterized by industrial uses, including vehicle and equipment rental, welding, and manufacturing. The rezoning aims to maintain the current development pattern of contiguous industrial land. This proposal is currently under review by the Planning Board, City of Fort Myers. If approved, the project would likely involve site preparation, utility work, and construction related to industrial facilities, following the typical phases of industrial development. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs as plans develop, before final bids and permits are issued.
