Village counsel

On March 17th at 6 p.m., Burt Saunders will have an opportunity few municipal attorneys ever get.

The Naples attorney will open the meeting for Village of Estero, Florida's newest municipality. It will be the culmination of nearly two years of work to create the new city located halfway between Fort Myers and Naples in south Lee County.

Estero landed on the business map two years ago when Hertz decided to move its global headquarters there from New Jersey. The company is building an $85 million campus on U.S. 41.
