1. Update regarding recent legislative trip to Washington, D.C.

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This item concerns potential future funding for county projects. Lee County officials met with federal staff regarding several infrastructure and grant programs. These include the Fort Myers Beach pier, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), CDBG-DR deadline extension, Bridge Investment Program (BIP) grant, and the Cape Coral Bridge grant. The Cape Coral Bridge grant is currently under review and could be approved later this year. While specific project details are not yet available, this review process suggests potential future work related to infrastructure improvements and grant-funded projects. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in future infrastructure or construction work related to these programs should monitor county announcements and engage with county staff early to understand potential opportunities as they develop.
