Lee County Property Appraiser announces addition of post-Ian aerial photography
Lee County Property Appraiser Matt Caldwell announced this week the addition of aerial photography to the Property Appraiser’s website (www.leepa.org) for access by taxpayers, appraisers, contractors and other interested parties.
The aerial photography was taken in the days after Hurricane Ian’s landfall on Sept. 28 and will help the Property Appraiser’s Office identify properties impacted by the storm.
Caldwell encourages all taxpayers who were impacted by Hurricane Ian to visit the website to provide staff with their contact information and describe their damage. The Property Appraiser’s Office will use residents’ contact information to keep them informed about any changes that could provide tax relief.
Questions can be directed to 239-533-6100 or hurricaneupdate@leepa.org

Supplying water to sustain a growing community
How will Fort Myers provide the water needed to sustain growth and development? City of Fort Myers Public Utilities Director Richard Moulton and City Engineer Nicole Monahan will provide insight and answers at the Real Estate Investment Society’s Dec. 13 luncheon meeting in Fort Myers.
Rapid growth in the city of Fort Myers created water supply issues early this year, disrupting permitting and development plans, which has driven an ambitious capital improvement effort to expand utility infrastructure. Following their report, Moulton and Monahan will respond to questions of specific interest to the Southwest Florida real estate investment and development industry.
Moulton has a degree in finance and business administration, as well as chemistry. Monahan has extensive project management and engineering experience with both public and private sectors in Southwest Florida.
The meeting is sponsored by Henderson Franklin, Attorneys at Law, and will begin promptly at 11:45 a.m., Dec. 13, in the Osprey Room at Pelican Preserve’s Clubhouse, on Treeline Avenue at Colonial Boulevard, one mile east of I-75 exit 136 in Fort Myers. Admission is $30 for members and $45 for guests, which includes lunch. Reservations are required by Dec. 8 and may be made at the REIS web site www.reis-swfl.org.
