The Fort Myers Economic Development Advisory Board met Oct. 2, 2025, heard a 35‑minute demonstration of an AI “Summarizer” built on ChatGPT, and spent the bulk of the two‑hour meeting debating priorities for business recruitment. The board focused on whether to hire an outside lead‑generation firm (contractor) versus expanding staff; members asked staff to circulate proposals and to press council liaisons for political support. The board voted to support pursuing a lead‑generation contract for the Economic Development Office and agreed to follow up at the next meeting.
