Bursting With Progress Travel brochures describe Southwest Florida as a tropical paradise. Lee Countians point with pride to their magnificent sunsets, stately palms, beautiful beaches, and sparkling waters. These fac- tors attract thousands of people yearly and continue to make Lee one of the fastest growing areas in the country. Lee County is bursting with development. Everywhere land is being cleared and buildings of various sizes and shapes take form. Developers provide multiple hous- ing alternatives and are bringing shopping centers and banks into local neighborhoods. Residents of North Fort Myers 4 5 , are proud of their growing business community. There are new fast food establishments, restaurants, supermarkets, special- ty shops, and at long last - a three screen movie theater. Bowling, roller-skating, go-carting, and swimming are finally available on our side of the Caloosahatchee River. Transportation in and out of Lee County has always been a pro- blem. With the completion of I-75 and US 41, motoring again pro- mises to be a pleasurable and safer experience. The regional jetport, presently under construction, will open this area to more of the world and allow Lee Countians to travel 6 farther, faster. School and county officials con- tinue to show their interest in the needs of the North High communi- ty. A combined effort by these two governmental bodies has provided numerous recreational facilities. North High students show their in- terest in Lee County affairs by registering to vote and par- ticipating in community, civic, and charitable projects. We are proud of everything we have in North Fort Myers and Lee County and our pride grows every year, week, and hour. With all this pride, we know we are and will continue to be the best. 1 - The Caloosahatchee Bridge is highlighted each day at sunset. 2 - Lee County Supervisor of Elections, Enid Earle, registers Iim Cooper, Kathy Bloomfield and Mary Barnes as voters at her office in the Lee County Courthouse. 3 - The most recent addition to the Dunbar Community, the First National Bank is being constructed on Anderson Avenue. 4 - The ever-growing North Fort Myers area finally acquired its own public library.
