The Lee Board of County Commissioners is planning to acquire approximately 9.83 acres of land for a future roundabout project. The property is located at 9820, 9860 Orange River Boulevard in East Fort Myers, at the intersection of Orange River Boulevard and Lakeside Club Boulevard. This land acquisition is planned for the future construction of a roundabout and a potential drainage pond. The purchase price is set at $1,125,000, with an additional $10,000 estimated for closing costs, totaling $1,135,000. This item is currently under review and planned for approval. The project will eventually involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, and paving for the roundabout and associated infrastructure. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, civil engineering, concrete, paving, and utility work should consider reaching out early to understand the project's timeline and potential needs before final plans and bids are established.
