Governor Ron DeSantis announced the appointment of Michael Greenwell to the Lee County Board of County Commissioners.

Michael Greenwell was one of the five people hoping to fill the Lee County Commission District 5 seat following the death of Frank Mann.

Greenwell, of Alva, is the owner of 31 Produce and the Treasurer of Big League Builders. He is the former President and the current Vice President of the community board in North Olga.

In a press release, Greenwell said he was honored for the appointment.

“I love my hometown and will do everything in my power to see it succeed,” Greenwell said. “Receiving the Governor’s appointment only drives me more to keep the seat so I can continue to work to make Lee County a better place for generations to come.”
