Lee County is in trouble when it comes to bringing business in to the region. I recently did a paper on bringing in a quality Business and Technology Park to utilize the University and hopefully bring jobs in. This kind of development has been shot down in the past but should be looked at if we are going to grow. Snowbirds are still here between October and May but the area has learned that only brings short term growth. Growth in the summer months is an important part of building this economy and bringing jobs. This article is a good one that sums up the general outlook of the area and will give insight on what the future holds. There are some things that I have suggested to these very leaders and hope they will get aggressive in building the area up for more than just tourism and snowbirds which is an important part but there are a lot of people left over from the boom that need and want to stay in the area all year around.
