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

The Cape Coral Community Recreation Center and Disaster Shelter project is undergoing a scope modification. The project, located in Lee County, will no longer include a dedicated disaster shelter component due to high costs associated with meeting evacuation standards. Instead, the recreation center will serve as a refuge of last resort, offering temporary, limited protection during emergencies. This item is currently under review by the Lee Board of County Commissioners. The modification means the project will focus on the recreation center's construction and management, potentially involving site preparation, building construction, and interior finishing. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, engineering, and related fields are encouraged to monitor this project's progress. Engaging early before final plans and permits are established could provide a competitive advantage for securing future work.
