#OneLee Supports Beach Business

Coastal Lee County communities, including Fort Myers Beach are facing the worst September in many years as months of Red Tide, preceded by Blue-Green Algae outbreaks have kept visitors away during what is already the slowest month of the year. The Lee County Visitor and Convention Bureau has kicked off a program to help kickstart coastal economies, including Fort Myers Beach. The #OneLee program began this week as VCB staff visited many island businesses, inviting them to submit their specials, promotions and deals to Leevcb@leegov.com. The promotion will contain dozens of deals from area businesses to motivate residents to dine, shop and play locally. Residents are encouraged to use #onelee in their social media posts to support this movement. Starting Saturday, these deals can be found at FortMyers-Sanibel.com/onelee and promoted in local media.  FULL ARTICLE

Margaritaville Work Continues

What’s happening with TPI-FMB/Margaritaville Fort Myers Beach? That has to be the most asked question, other than something about Red Tide, on the beach these days. The TPI-FMB project was approved unanimously by Town Council on May 21 following two public hearings and at least a year of analysis. The most vocal opponent to the project, Voice of Fort Myers Beach which consisted primarily of Fort Myers Beach hoteliers, went dark right after announcing the approval on their social media pages. After the approval, Robert Conidaris, owner of the Lani Kai Island Resort, began placing full page ads in area newspapers, railing against the approval. He repeatedly called for local residents to join him in fighting the approval and invited residents to attend a meeting with his lawyer to pursue possible legal challenges to the approval On August 8, 2018, Conidaris’ attorney, Ralf Brookes filed two lawsuits challenging the downtown project in the name of Town resident, Chris Patton. Patton is also represented by co-counsel Laura Howard and Stanford Solomon of the Solomon Law Group in Tampa. Patton, a Primo Drive resident, spoke against the project during the LPA and Town Council Public Hearings on the project. FULL ARTICLE
