Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is planning to explore ways to boost tourism by potentially starting a commercial business on the bay side of Bowditch Point Park. This initiative is currently in the early planning stages, with the Board authorizing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN). This means they will formally ask qualified companies to submit ideas for developing this tourism business. The project could lead to site preparation, construction, and related services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to learn more about this opportunity early in the process, before specific plans or bids are finalized, to best position themselves for potential work.
