With Lee Memorial Hospital scheduled to close in 2027, discussions over what will replace the building are in full swing and whether a new location for Fort Myers City Hall is the right choice. At a City Council workshop Dec. 9, Mayor Kevin Anderson said he supports the move, citing that the current city hall building is getting old, and that space is needed for a growing staff. To replace Lee Memorial Hospital, Lee Health is building a new location on Challenger Boulevard that will open in 2028. Plans for the new hospital include 168 beds and a possible musculoskeletal institute, WINK News reports.
