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 will accept an additional $4,500,000 for the Billy Creek & Orange River Septic-to-Sewer Conversion Project. The total grant amount will increase to $6,000,000. This funding is intended for construction-related activities and will help offset costs for 85 homeowners in the project area. The project is currently under review, with approval needed to update the grant agreement, project schedule, grant term, and completion dates. This project will involve significant construction work, including site preparation, underground utility installation for sewer lines, and potentially roadwork. Contractors specializing in utility construction, site clearing, grading, and concrete work may find opportunities as the project moves forward. Early engagement with the county or project managers could provide insight into upcoming bid schedules and permit processes.
