Mayor Kevin Anderson and members of his team gave a wide-ranging report on Fort Myers post-Hurricane Ian progress at a gathering of local commercial real estate professionals.
“We’ve got a lot of great things in the works. And I think this is just the beginning. As devastating as the hurricane was, I think we’re going to be seeing a lot of things happening. The economy is going to be stimulated,” said Anderson.
He addressed the increased housing and hospitality.
“We have 11,000 plus residential units in the works that includes townhomes, apartments, condos and single family. We have 5 hotels with 597 rooms getting ready to come to town.

Anderson spoke about the future of Fort Myers Beach and other waterfront properties.
