A Tale of Three Cities…What it’s like to be a city.

Please join us on May 9, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. at the Rosemary Beach Townhall, South Barrett Square in Rosemary Beach. This forum is free and open to the public.

A Better South Walton (ABSW) is proud to present “A Tale of Three Cities…What it’s like to be a city”, a series of three forums designed to provide attendees with first-hand accounts of the real-life challenges and successes from several incorporated Florida cities. Our first forum will feature Nick Batos, who served as the first Mayor of Estero in Lee County. Mr. Batos is a retired executive who led the successful effort to get the incorporation of Estero on the November 2014 ballot. It passed by a resounding 86 percent. Don’t miss your chance to hear Mr. Batos’ story of how the Village of Estero moved from a grassroots citizen organization to “A Village with a Vision” and get your questions answered.
