Steven Hennigan’s interim label was removed from his role as executive director of the Lee County Port Authority on July 30. He will continue leading Southwest Florida International Airport and Page Field, as well as the port authority’s real estate holdings. 

Lee County commissioners, who double as port authority commissioners, voted 4-0 twice, once in each capacity, to approve a two-year contract paying Hennigan $250,000 per year. 

The commissioners approved the contract without discussion and voted to proceed with the hiring without conducting a national search, which would have cost about $200,000.
