Harlem Heights Cultural Arts & Community Center

Fort Myers, Florida

A ground breaking ceremony was held on January 24, 2008 for the Harlem Heights Cultural Arts & Community Center. The 4.5 million dollar Community Center and theater will be located on Hagie Drive (off of Gladiolus Drive) in Fort Myers. The 14,000 square foot Community Center will have a 250 seat auditorium, outdoor and indoor stages, art room, gallery, classrooms, teen and adult lounges, a computer center and full industrial kitchen. Upon completion, the Community Center will offer a variety of classes and programs for children and adults. The center will also be the home of the Senior Friendship Centers lunch program, which offers a daily hot lunch to local senior citizens.

The center will be located on a 4.89-acre parcel adjacent to the Harlem Heights Community Park. Separated by a drainage canal, the Community Center will include a pedestrian bridge crossing which will allow for easy access between the two attractions. The Community Center will also have mulched walking paths, a picnic shelter, paved and grass parking areas, and a future amenities area to allow for the possibility of expansion of the centers facilities.

Permitting through Lee County Development Services, South Florida Water Management District, Lee County Utilities, Lee County Department of Health, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection was required for this project.
