ACCESS NEW WEB PAGE ON COUNTY SITE TO GET STATUS OF PROJECTS

FORT MYERS, Fla. (November 19, 2002) – Lee County Government continues to add to its web site with a new “Construction & Design” page that updates citizens on the status of the county’s construction projects.

The link is www.lee-county.com/publicworks/construction_and_design.htm.  Or go into lee-county.com and select Departments/Divisions, Construction and Design.

The Construction & Design Department oversees the planning, design and construction of the county’s non-transportation related projects such as libraries, parks and government facilities.

The site gives the status of all active construction projects, including total budget, total spent to-date and anticipated completion date.  It also has a summary list of the $92 million of projects slated for fiscal year 2002-03.

This is just the latest effort to further Lee County’s technology vision of providing “all citizens, business, employees and guests with easy access to County information and services from anywhere at anytime.”

Other applications on the county’s web site include:
