Mayor Responds to FMB Businesses

At last week’s public town hall meeting organized by Al Durrett and Bud Nocera, I promised I would get back to you within a week to let you know what steps had been taken to make doing business on Fort Myers Beach easier during the road construction. I am happy to report progress has been made. The credit for this goes to Commissioner Larry Kiker. He went to bat for us and the results show he was indeed listening.

Water Woes Continue in 2016
