Planning Board · 2026-06-03 · agenda_item

The Planning Board of the City of Fort Myers is reviewing a proposal for light manufacturing. This review is in its early stages, meaning potential projects are planned or under consideration. The scope could involve facilities for producing items like furniture, fixtures, appliances, electrical or gas equipment, machinery, internal combustion engines, lumber, and plywood. Businesses involved in site preparation, grading, construction, and specialized trades such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC could see future opportunities. Suppliers of building materials and equipment may also find potential. Engaging with the process now, before specific site plans, bids, and permits are finalized, offers an advantage for local contractors, trades, and suppliers.
