The council authorized the purchase of two adjacent properties at 2110 and 2112 Hoople Street from Midwest Equities LLC for $520,000 plus closing costs and a $1,900 Phase I environmental assessment. City Attorney Grant Alley described the acquisition as part of Midtown Fort Myers redevelopment and noted the properties include an improved 12-unit multifamily dwelling and adjacent parking.
Public comment referenced the site's history as "Hoopa Manor" and urged consideration of housing needs and historic preservation. Council moved the item without further discussion and approved the purchase by voice vote.
Staff will proceed with escrow and environmental assessment tasks consistent with the acquisition resolution and bring any results back to council as required.
