Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

Lee County is planning to request funding from the West Coast Inland Navigation District (WCIND) for Fiscal Year 26-27. The county has identified a list of projects totaling $2,366,681 that it wishes to be considered for funding. These projects focus on navigation improvements, marine law enforcement, environmental education, and boating safety, based on county needs and requests from other agencies. The Lee Board of County Commissioners will consider adopting a resolution to formally request this funding. This resolution is a required step for WCIND to consider the county's Water Development Program funding request. The County Manager or a designee would be authorized to sign any necessary funding agreements. This early stage in the process means that contractors, suppliers, and service providers can engage with the county to understand potential future needs as project details are finalized. Opportunities may arise for site preparation, construction, and specialized marine services once funding is secured and specific projects are defined.
