During Hurricane Ian a North Fort Myers riverfront dwelling that was home to adults with developmental disabilities for more than 25 years was destroyed and five adults were displaced and forced into temporary rental housing.
A year later, the Lee Association for Remarkable Citizens is pairing with Steven R. Bowen Construction, Dwayne Bergman and Designers + Build Unite, and Stacey Callahan and Luxe Interiors + Design Florida to create a new home for these adults.
Groundbreaking for new the home in Cape Coral that replaces the home that was destroyed by Ian will be at 10 a.m. Thursday.
