• Resource created on proposed Plan, LDC changes (pineisland-eagle.com) — Proposed sweeping changes to Lee County's comprehensive plan and land development code could weaken Pine Island's community plans and reduce residents' say over future development. A new website, LeeCommunities.com, helps Greater Pine Island and nearby communities compare revisions, craft comments, and contact county commissioners before the Oct. 7 hearing. Local civic groups urge residents to review the changes quickly and get involved.
