Estero’s commercial permits in September 2017 totaled $893,888, one of the lowest monthly totals in the last few years, likely as a result of the hurricane.  For the year, over $7 million has been invested in renovations within Coconut Point and Miromar malls, including $275,000 in September.  Due primarily to Lee Health’s $82 million permit for Estero’s Medical Village,

2017 year-to-date figures continue to be well above those of the last nine years. The table compares 2017 year-to-date totals with those of the previous 17 years.
