1. Presentation on the Multi-Sportsplex Feasibility Study
The Economic Development Advisory Board of the City of Fort Myers is reviewing a feasibility study for a potential Multi-Sportsplex. This study is currently under review, with the next meeting scheduled for September 3, 2026.

This early stage presents an opportunity for local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the process. Reaching out now, before detailed plans, bids, and permits are established, allows businesses to understand the potential scope and position themselves for future work.
