LEE COUNTY, Fla. — Repairs to athletic field lighting at Lee County Parks & Recreation sites will begin this month, following damage from Hurricane Ian.
The County said most repairs should be completed by November 5, in time for the end of Daylight saving time. This will minimize the impact to youth sports following the time change.
Lee County will use both its own staff and outside vendors to complete the work.
Parks have been closed for nighttime use since the hurricane.
The Lee Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday voted to approve a contract with Musco Lighting for repairs and replacement of lighting at 10 sites. The Board is expected to consider a second agenda item related to the repairs on Aug. 15.
The total cost of the repairs is estimated at $3 million.
