What happened?
Fort Myers Beach Talk reports Judge Michael McHugh denied a resident-backed legal challenge to the Seagate Development Group project. The ruling says the town’s updated development-agreement process allowed council members to approve deviations, including the project’s height. The decision keeps alive a redevelopment plan that includes 141 condo units, a private beach club, and towers reaching as high as 17 stories on the former Red Coconut property.
