An agency of the city of Fort Myers is taking over the planning for how to re-make the historic McCollum Hall.
The city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, CRA, now has permission to spend money to get help with possible plans. The CRA is the owner of the property, just east of the downtown area. The CRA bought the hall about 17 years ago.
The CRA will spend up to $42,600 to pay a company to pull together ideas, and make architectural designs, for McCollum. City council members and the mayor, sitting as the CRA Board of Directors, Wednesday approved a contract with local firm Parker, Mudgett and Smith. The vote was unanimous.
