District 5 County Commissioner Frank Mann has agreed to be one of the panelists at first Town Hall meeting on incorporation being hosted by the Community Council of Lehigh Acres according to their President Tami Baker.
The event will be held on March 1st at the Lehigh Senior High School Auditorium starting at 9:30 AM. It will be held in conjunction with a pancake breakfast which is being sponsored by the Lehigh Senior High School Key Club which will be starting at 7 AM. It will feature all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage or bacon, and coffee for 5 dollars.
The town Hall meeting venue is being sponsored by the Community Council and the Kiwanis Club of Lehigh Acres to inform the residents of what may be needed in order to incorporate the community of Lehigh Acres. The first meeting will be informational with speakers addressing what the state and county governments will require before voters can decide on incorporation to take place. Speakers will talk about the feasibility and financial studies that are required, along with what steps would have to be taken to successfully run an informational campaign so residents could be apprised of all the issues. The public will be given the opportunity to sign up for various committees.
Baker said both the Council and the Kiwanis are remaining neutral on the issue at this time, and that their only interest was promoting the forms which will provide the necessary information to the residents.
