Public Engagement Survey
The Town is developing a Recovery and Resilience Plan to help guide Fort Myers Beach’s rebuilding and long-term future. This effort will identify community priorities, evaluate recovery challenges and opportunities, and help shape a shared vision for how the island evolves over the next 10–20 years. We invite you to take a few moments to complete this survey and provide your input on future of Fort Myers Beach.
