A rezoning proposal is under review by the Planning Board of the City of Fort Myers. The proposal concerns a 19.79-acre site located with frontage on Ortiz Avenue, approximately 1.3 miles from I-75. The property is currently vacant but approved for industrial use and is located within an existing industrial corridor. The rezoning would allow for continued light industrial use, balancing industrial land converted to residential uses and supporting economic development. This project is in the planning stages, meaning site development plans will be reviewed later. The rezoning could lead to site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to learn more about potential opportunities as plans develop.
