| Developer to boost chamber fund |
|
| The Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral will be $50,000 richer tonight thanks to local developer Will Stout. Stout’s Realmark Group will make the donation at an invitation-only gala to mark two milestones in the development of the Marina at Cape Harbour. “What we want to do is kick off the chamber’s building fund,” Stout said. “It’s very important to put a new face on the city—to take that little building and grow it into something first class.” Stout will actually give $10,000 to the chamber

immediately and the remaining $40,000 will be doled out as matching gifts to the building fund. Chamber officials want to redo their existing building at the entrance to the city from the Cape Coral Bridge. The renovation is expected to cost about $500,000. Realmark is celebrating the opening of The Boat House, an indoor storage facility for 160 boats, and the “topping off” of Marina View Condominiums, a 58-unit mid-rise condo project that Realmark’s managing broker Laura Strauss called “the first real luxury mid-rise in the Cape.” |
