Captiva's South Seas moves forward as fight with neighbors continues

The owners behind the South Seas resort on Captiva Island are scheduled to go before Lee County officials Feb. 14 for the first of several hearings to determine what the nearly $1 billion project will look like when complete. 

The public hearings, which will be held in successive weeks before the county’s Hearing Examiner, will allow the company to put forward its ideas for the historic property. And it also will be an opportunity for those who oppose what the new owners want to do to present their cases before county officials.
