Fort Myers CRA approves extension for construction of McCollum Hall project

The Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency board of commissioners unanimously approved Wednesday a nine-month extension request to commence construction on the McCollum Hall project, which will be named THIRTY8 Collective at McCollum Hall.

The project will include a food and market hall and a residential community component called THIRTY8 Flats.

The original construction date of Oct.1 was shifted to July 2024, so developer Alexander Goshen + Cornerstone Strategic Partners LLC has adequate time between city review approval and construction at the site on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near downtown Fort Myers.
