Dear Festival & Parade Fans! It is almost that time again: For the Annual Lehigh Spring Festival & Grand Parade! You may want to get your platform shoes, bell bottoms and leisure suits out of the closet, as we are going Disco this year with "STAYIN' ALIVE" This year's theme will represent the endurance of Lehigh Acres and its wonderful citizens. Even with difficult economic times, we are standing strong and are "Stayin' Alive". You can look forward to another spectacular, breathtaking and "grooving" Grand Parade, which will convert the center of Lehigh Acres into one giant disco. As in previous years, the parade will start as in promptly at 11:00 am, on Saturday, March 27, 2010, and will wind down Homestead Road between Beth Stacey Boulevard and Arthur Avenue. The judge's tent and parade narrators will be located in front of the SunTrust Bank on Homestead Road. If you will be part of the parade, make sure to put your smile on, and show our judges that you deserve a trophy! If you will be just watching and enjoying the parade from the sidelines along Homestead Road, make sure you'll cheer on each and every parade participants as they make their way down the parade route. Our always cheerful and funny parade narrators, Danny Stephenson and Vicki Culver, will entertain you while enjoying the show. And who knows, Vicki might even bring a disco ball along! I sure hope that you will enjoy the 2010 Spring Festival Parade and that you will join us at the Veterans Park for some great food, drinks and entertainment during our nine day Spring Festival. Don't forget, the festival will kick off on Friday, March 19, 2010! We all look forward seeing you along the parade route or as a participant!

Nearly a year ago, the Lehigh Acres Weed and Seed Steering committee contacted the staff of Lehigh Acres Live and asked us to be their voice on the Internet. In support of their efforts, we agreed and a close working partnership was born.
The Lehigh Acres Weed and Seed project has gained a strong foothold in Lehigh Acres and is well onto a very successful program.
Now that the Weed and Seed project is well under way it is time they project their goals and successes on their own website. The staff from Lehigh Acres Live has agreed to assist in this next step. We have been working with the steering committee and has completed the new official site, which ultimately will be run and operated by the Media Relations committee.
This new website will provide you with much of the same information Lehigh Acres Live has given you for the past year, but they have decided to provide you with more information via an electronic newsletter/notification process. The opt in/opt out option on the new website will provide you with:
The Lehigh Acres Weed and Seed has gone live as announced in the News Star article. You can view the new website at www.LehighAcresWeedandSeed.com.
Make sure you go to the “Newsletter” page and sign up for the electronic newsletters while you are there.
The website is still growing, and each committee/subcommittee will be responsible for posting their documents, photos and specific information about their committees. So check back there often.
Thank you for your support of Lehigh Acres Live and the Lehigh Acres Weed and Seed Project.
Your Dream to own a Home Just Got Some Serious Back-up!!
Powered by $18 million from the Federal Housing & Economic Recovery Act, Lee County is now buying and rehabilitating foreclosed homes to recell at unbelievably affordable prices.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) of Lee County is all about putting hard workers into homes.
The Best part of all -- you don't have to earn a low income to qualify!
Finally, an affordable housing program for middle income earners.
Just when you thought good things couldn't happen to you. Think again!
Lee County buys a foreclosed home below appraised market value.
County-hired contractors rehab the home to move-in condition.
Lee County then sells the home at the original sales price plus rehab costs -- with no mark-up for profit.
Lee County will offer financial aid in the form of a silent second mortage and help with reasonable closing costs.
SNP Home will be available in five sections of Lee County including Lehigh Acres and San Carlos Park.
To view maps of the specific target areas, go to: nsp.leegov.com.
Investing in an SNP home is an investing in our community's future.
