As you may already know, a decision to fund 20\/20 was not concluded at yesterday’s BOCC meeting.<\/p>\n

Therefore, a decision to purchase “any properties” was also not made.\u00a0 20\/20 or the County has never purchased property in Lehigh Acres, other than Hickey’s Creek.\u00a0 The County Commissioners must find a way to purchase this property.\u00a0 We tell our children to do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason.\u00a0 This is the right thing, the right time and the right reason for the County to go forward with the purchase of Leeland Lake.<\/p>\n

Ken O’Leary is making another application to the County to purchase Leeland Lake 19.95 acres.\u00a0 He has been denied twice.\u00a0 Let’s not allow a third time.<\/p>\n

On May 12, 2012 there will be another Lehigh Plan workshop from 9:30AM-11:30AM at the East County Library.\u00a0 The plan and Leeland Lake will be discussed. Be sure to attend and bring friends.<\/p>\n

After this meeting, there is a need to solicit a network of people from Lehigh Acres as well as all over the County to write letters of support to purchase Leeland Lake.\u00a0 Without letters of support, the County may never purchase this property\u00a0that has\u00a0great archeological value.\u00a0 Please start making a list of constituents you can contact to help support our cause to see this property purchased by the County, after May 12.\u00a0 All schools need to get involved in this support as it has huge educational impact.<\/p>\n

I will appreciate your sending me names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mails of people you plan to contact so we can keep the list and give the people on this list an update.\u00a0 Our list should include leadership committees\u00a0from Fort Myers (East Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, South Fort Myers, Estero, Sanibel, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs as well as Clubs, Organizations, Homeowner Associations and more.<\/p>\n

Letters of support should be sent to the Board of County Commissioners, 2115 Second Street, Fort Myers, FL. 33901.\u00a0 They can be sent to Ray Judah, Frank Mann, Tammy Hall, Brian Bigelow and John Manning .<\/p>\n
