Lovers Key Visitor Center Receives Funding
Under One Roof
Lovers Key State Park, just off the southern tip of Fort Myers Beach,
is the second-most visited state park in Florida, averaging one million
visitors annually, but it does so without a single indoor venue for
exhibits, classrooms, meetings and similar opportunities. That will soon
change, though, as its Friends Of Lovers Key (FOLKS) volunteer group
recently spearheaded a legislative effort to garner $4 million to
construct a Visitor Center, estimated to begin in 2018 and be complete
in 2019. “The process actually began last year,” explained Mark Generales, a
FOLKS volunteer. “The Florida Legislature appropriated $450,000 for
architects and engineers and permitting, then the remaining $3.55
million this year for the construction, to tell Southwest Florida’s
ecological story. We want visitors to learn the park’s history,
background, and environment, as so many just come to Lovers Key to go to
its spectacular beaches, but they miss out on knowing about its various
habitats.” FULL STORY
