That’s been one of the biggest questions from residents lately and the United States Government has no answer for you. Beach residents have had to travel to Jetport Loop to pick up their mail, if it’s even there for them, and have not been able to get any explanation on when mail service might return.
The United States Postal Service had been leasing a facility on Fort Myers Beach. The structure sustained heavy damage in the storm and to date it doesn’t look like any work has been done on the building. The property is owned by a NJ LLC. The latest information in the permit database doesn’t show any submissions from the property owner, not even the required structural and electrical inspections.
In addition to not having a post office many residents on the island do not have mailboxes any longer. They would like to be able to pick up their mail closer to their homes if possible. However, nobody has had any luck getting a straight answer from the Postal Service.
