Lee County issued the following announcement on March 1.
The Lee Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday voted to approve a contract to design, permit and provide construction administration services for improvements to the
Player Development Complex in Fort Myers.
Due to the increased demand of outdoor sports facilities and growth of Lee County population, the facility at 4301 Edison Ave. will be refreshed to include additional parking spaces and shade structures to the main stadium and auxiliary field. The existing maintenance road will be paved to provide better access to maintenance equipment.
The facility, which has five ballfields, batting cages and ancillary buildings, hosted 46 baseball tournaments in 2021.
The $115,000 contract is with Johnson Engineering Inc. and the project will be funded with Tourist Development Taxes collected on short-term lodging.
The design is expected to take about nine months to complete.
