Cape Coral City Council will review a proposal to allocate over $34 million for the second phase of the yacht club park project, which would extend the contract by two years and fund various site improvements.<\/p>\n

\"Mercedes<\/a>CAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

Cape Coral City Council is set to discuss a proposal Wednesday at 4 p.m. to add more than $34 million to the yacht club park project. <\/p>\n

The additional funding would cover the second phase of construction, including a new fuel system and tanks, utility work, other site improvements, and beach amenities. <\/p>\n

If approved, the amendment would increase the contract total to $58,872,832.35 and extend the contract by two years. The city anticipates the project will be substantially completed by June 5, 2029, with final completion by July 4, 2029. <\/p>\n

The city\u2019s concept plans for the site have included a two-story community center, marina docks, a resort-style pool, and a parking garage for hundreds of vehicles. However, the final plan for the site remains uncertain. <\/p>\n

Last month, the city reviewed two proposals for hotels and directed staff to collaborate with KMB Marine and Yacht Clubs of the Americas to refine their proposal.<\/p>\n
