City of Fort Myers residents will decide on proposed parks and recreation improvements and land acquisition for new green space throughout the city. To fund these improvements, an up to $75 million General Obligation Bond is up for vote on the general election ballot. Listed at the end of the ballot, the G.O. Bond is a form of debt obligation that provides local government with funds to finance large capital improvements, such as those currently proposed for enhanced parks and recreational facilities. If funding is approved, the city Parks and Recreation Department can initiate the planning, design and construction of improvements in 18 parks and facilities equitably throughout the community over a 10-year period.
