Lee County Listening Tour

Commissioner Trish Petrosky Announces Listening Tour

Lee County Commissioner Trish Petrosky has announced a series of community meetings across Lee County as part of the Lee County Listening Tour, giving residents the opportunity to have candid conversations about the issues affecting their community and quality of life.

Commissioner Petrosky was recently appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and sworn into office on December 15th. As she begins her service on the Lee Board of County Commissioners, the Listening Tour will give residents the opportunity to share their concerns and ideas directly with Commissioner Petrosky as she works to represent the community’s interests.

“These meetings are about listening and learning,” Commissioner Petrosky said. “I am not coming in with all the answers. I want to hear directly from the people I serve, understand what matters most to them, and make sure their voices are heard and reflected in the decisions we make on the County Commission.”

Listening Tour meetings will be held in Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, South Fort Myers, Estero and Cape Coral in January and February. County staff will be present to help address questions and provide follow-up information as needed.

Each session will begin with remarks from Commissioner Petrosky, followed by time for residents to speak and ask questions. The Listening Tour is designed to encourage direct, face-to-face conversation and will not be recorded or livestreamed.
