Two big ticket items were on the City of Fort Myers’ regular council meeting agenda Monday: the Yacht Basin and the City of Palms Stadium.
The City of Fort Myers shared Yacht Basin & City of Palm Park updates
FOX 4 has been closely following both.
In September, we learned that Suntex, the company responsible for redesigning the yacht basin, had submitted the permit application.
The Army Corps of Engineers told us the first permit was issued in December 2023, and the hold-up in construction was not due to the corps not issuing a permit.
Then, Suntex submitted another application in June 2024, that’s now being looked at.
Councilman Johnny Streets, like many of you want to know why this project is taking so long to move forward? He said the project is costing the city money and just sitting there unused.
“So that’s why I brought this forward as an information piece, so that people will, at least have an idea where we are, and perhaps if there’s any public hearings, they can chime in on it,” Streets was concerned with the amount of time that is passing with no results.
