The Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District will be showing off the new design for the fire station that will eventually be located at 2545 Estero Boulevard. Residents can get a look by stopping by DiamondHead Resort this Wednesday between 2PM and 5PM.
The Fire District purchased the former Topps Supermarket property in early 2019 for $4 million hoping to build a new state-of-the-art facility and headquarters on that property by 2024. Hurricane Ian changed everything. The plan now is to build a smaller fire station on the front piece of the property with a groundbreaking goal of October of this year and a ribbon cutting at the end of 2025.
The back half of the Topps lot will be used as a construction site while the new station is being built. When construction ends, the back portion will be sold. The back portion of the property was recently appraised at $5.7 million.
The design team will be at the meeting on the 19th to answer questions and light refreshments will be served.
