Economic Redevelopment Initiatives
Relating to economic development initiatives and historic preservation, we have recently obtained funding and legislative language for the following projects:
- $475,000 to the City of Fort Myers, Florida for the restoration of the Edison & Ford Winter Estates;
- Another $200,000 to the City of Fort Myers, Florida for the continued implementation of the Edison & Ford Winter Estates Master Plan;
- $200,000 to the City of Sarasota, Florida for the Fredd "Glossie" Atkins park expansion;
- Another $250,000 to the City of Sarasota for the Robert Taylor Community Center; and
- Secured language in the Agriculture Appropriations bill to waive certain restrictions for a client in North Carolina so they may be eligible for Rural Community Development loans and grants through the Department of Agriculture.
