The Sanibel & Captiva Islands Chamber of Commerce celebrated the partial reopening of the Sanibel Historical Museum & Village Tuesday and, earlier, the Captiva branch of John R. Wood Christie’s International Real Estate, with ribbon-cutting ceremonies. At its 11499 Andy Rosse Lane branch, the John R. Wood office had undergone renovation and was set to open before Hurricane Ian hit in September. Suarez Estate Management & Construction remodeled the office.
