Estero Bay Access for Boaters Open Meeting
2020-02-26 17:30 | Estero High School, 21900 River Ranch Road, Estero, FL, 33928, United States
Estero Bay Access for Boaters (At the former Weeks Fish Camp)
An “Open” Meeting will be held at Estero High School, Williams Road, Estero
On Wednesday, Feb 26 at 5:30 PM
London Bay Homes will present their plans at the meeting
Given the importance to residents of access to Estero Bay (on the land formerly owned by Weeks Fish Camp) at the western end of Coconut Road, the ECCL is encouraging you to attend the above meeting. Following several meetings with London Bay Homes, they have made some concessions to their earlier plans which they wish to present. Nevertheless, the ECCL remains concerned.
Despite being informed of the impressive results gained from ECCL’s online and focus group market research work last year, London Bay Homes concessions may not completely satisfy the wishes that most boaters expressed regarding the availability of practical and convenient means to launch their boats at this location.
Again, we know there is a great deal of interest and concern about this issue and we encourage you to attend the meeting on February 26th to hear what London Bay Homes has to say and afford you the opportunity to express your views on the plans being suggested.
