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

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering Conservation 20/20 Nomination 672 for Tier II placement. This nomination involves a 44-acre property located in Saint James City on Pine Island, north of Maria Drive and west of Stringfellow Road. The property is adjacent to the existing 405-acre Buttonwood Preserve. This item is currently under review, following a recommendation from the Conservation 20/20 Land Acquisition and Stewardship Advisory Committee. If approved, this could lead to the acquisition of the land for conservation purposes. While no specific construction is detailed at this stage, future stewardship activities might involve land management and ecological restoration. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as land management, environmental services, and potentially surveying could find opportunities by engaging early in the process before final plans are established.
