Cape Council Approves Beach at Four Freedoms Park

Cape Coral News

It has not been a long time coming. In fact, the project has actually come together reasonably quickly. The Cape Coral Community Redevelopment Agency proposed beach at Four Freedoms Park in Cape Coral appears to be on track for becoming a reality. Initially proposed last year during the introduction of the CRA's 2030 Future Vision Plan, the project has become a primary focus for them. Despite the inability of the CRA to avail themselves of Tourist Development Council funding, CRA Chairman Don Heisler has said that his organization will provide the nearly $42,000 necessary to secure the project.

Cape Council drowns Aquatic Center / approves Village Square

Cape Coral NewsIn what could only be described as an exhausting 12-hour session, the Cape Coral City Council voted against approval of the proposed Aquatic Center in a 5-3 vote. Many Cape Coral residents were supportive of the proposed center and believed that it offered the community both an opportunity for national recognition that it has lacked, as well as a positive economic impact on the city. While council was not in support of the swim center, they took relatively little time to approve the Village Square mixed-use project for the downtown area. The availability of necessary funding for the respective projects seemed to dictate their differing outcomes.
