Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering an amendment to a grant agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. This amendment would accept an additional $4,500,000 for the Billy Creek & Orange River Septic-to-Sewer Conversion Project. The total grant amount would increase to $6,000,000, with these funds designated for construction activities. This project aims to convert septic systems to sewer connections for 85 homeowners in the affected area. The item is currently under review, with approval needed to update the grant agreement, project schedule, and completion dates. This project will likely involve site preparation, underground utility work for sewer connections, and potentially road restoration. Contractors specializing in utility work, site grading, concrete, and paving may find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement could be beneficial as plans and permits are finalized.
