    Local Highlights

     
    Demographic info © LocalLogic, Inc.

  • Captiva, located on Florida’s scenic Gulf Coast, is known more for its resort atmosphere and natural beauty than for heavy industry. However, the region’s proximity to major Southwest Florida hubs like Fort Myers and its access to U.S. Highway 41 and I-75 make it a strategic point for light industrial, distribution, and logistics operations serving the broader Lee County area.

    Industrial real estate activity in the region is shaped by strong demand for warehousing and last-mile delivery space, driven by population growth and tourism-related commerce. While Captiva itself has limited industrial inventory, nearby communities are seeing new projects and expansions, with developers focusing on flexible-use facilities and smaller-scale logistics hubs.

    Lee County’s Economic Development Office provides support for site selection, permitting, and business incentives, helping companies navigate the regulatory landscape. Florida’s robust state-level

    incentive programs—such as the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund and Quick Response Training—are available to eligible businesses expanding or relocating within the region.

    Workforce development is anchored by partnerships with local colleges and training providers, including the Lee County School District and Florida SouthWestern State College. These institutions offer programs tailored to logistics,...
