On Monday, Seagate CEO Matt Price donated $47,000 to Fort Myers Beach to help cover the cost of the 4th of July fireworks. The full cost of the fireworks is $78,000. The reason the cost is so high is because without a pier the fireworks must be launched from a barge and that doubles the cost. $31,000 of the cost will be paid from the town budget.
Price also reeled off the other items Seagate has partnered with the community on, including beach cleanups, working with the Art Association, The Woman’s Club, and installing a new walkway at the Beach School.
