Milestone for Estero

The November 14, 2025 High 5 Groundbreaking Ceremony at the Estero Village Hub brought together community leaders, residents, and partners who share a vision for a stronger, more connected Estero.

Among those in attendance were members of the Village Council, Village Manager Steve Sarkozy, representatives from the Greater Estero Chamber of Commerce, and our District 1 Mayor Joanne Ribble, whose leadership continues to help guide Estero’s growth.

It was an inspiring afternoon celebrating collaboration, recreation, and progress right here in the heart of our Village.
