Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has allocated $15 million from the state’s 2025 fiscal budget to support Fort Myers Beach.
The Town of Fort Myers Beach has announced that $8 million of this funding will be used to purchase 6231 Estero Blvd., which will serve as the new Town Hall. The remaining $7,547,805 will go towards revenue replacement.
Fort Myers Beach Mayor Dan Allers expressed his gratitude for the state’s financial support.
“I would like to thank Governor DeSantis, FDEM Director Kevin Guthrie, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, Senator Jonathan Martin, State Representative Adam Botana, the entire State Legislature, the entire Lee County delegation, and Lobbyist Ron Book and his staff, Rona Brown, Kelly Mallette, and Gaby Navarro for their continued support in our recovery from Hurricane Ian. I would also like to thank Town staff in their efforts in helping to make this a reality as we continue our rebuild,” said Allers.
