The Captiva Civic Association (CCA) has established a legal fund to oppose proposed changes to Captiva’s height and density regulations. The changes, which were proposed by the Lee County Board of County Commissioners, would allow for taller buildings and more dense development on the island.
The CCA believes that the proposed changes would have a negative impact on the character of Captiva. The island is known for its small-town charm and its natural beauty. The CCA is concerned that the proposed changes would lead to more traffic, more noise, and less open space.
The CCA is urging the community to contribute to the legal fund. The fund will be used to hire legal representation to fight the proposed changes. The CCA has already retained the law firm of GrayRobinson to represent the community.
If you are interested in contributing to the legal fund, you can do so by visiting the CCA website or by sending a check to the following address:
Captiva Civic Association
Legal Fund
PO Box 1281
Captiva Island, FL 33924
The deadline for submitting contributions is July 31, 2023.
The CCA is committed to protecting the character of Captiva. With your help, we can ensure that the island remains a special place for generations to come.
