The Lee Board of County Commissioners has approved a license and use agreement with Pine Island Art Association, Inc. (PIAA) for the "Art Building" in Matlacha Park. This agreement grants PIAA exclusive use of the county-owned building for five years, starting April 7, 2026, with an option to renew for another five years. PIAA plans to use the space for art classes for the public and home school students, workshops, and private meetings. The agreement involves a nominal rent of $1 per year and can be ended with 90 days' notice. This project is in the approved stage. The work will involve preparing the building for its new use, including potential interior modifications for classes and workshops, and ongoing maintenance. Contractors specializing in building renovations, interior finishing, and general maintenance services could find opportunities. Suppliers of art supplies and educational materials may also be involved. Reaching out to PIAA early could provide insight into their specific needs as they begin operations.
