That’s what Fort Myers Beach Town Manager Andy Hyatt said on Beach Talk Radio Saturday. The iconic clock in Times Square was one of the most popular selfie spots on the island. It disappeared when storm surge destroyed the entire Times Square area on September 28, 2022.
The original goal was to try to have the new clock installed by the 4th of July.
Back in June, the Fort Myers Beach Town Council accepted a donation from George and Linda Merschman who donated the $38,000 to purchase the replacement clock. On Monday Public Works Director Jason Freeman announced that the town finally has the Times Square clock in its possession and may need to redo the foundation. Freeman also said that the town is now coordinating with electricians to get power to the clock.
