Lee County has launched a new resource website to provide a wide range of information tools to residents and visitors in a single, easily accessible location.

The site is available at“http://www.leegov.com/tools”> www.leegov.com/tools. It is part of the Lee Board of County Commissioners commitment to their Strategic Priorities, which include Community Engagement, county officials said Tuesday in a statement announcing the new resource site. “The Board is committed to build communications strategies on multiple platforms and develop interactive tools to allow easy access to information for quality of life and for board policies.”

The website made its debut at the regularly scheduled county commission meeting.

The resources available at the site include:

· Resident Information Tool: The website allows easy, one-stop information regarding Lee County properties previously available across more than a dozen web sites. For example, a homeowner can enter their address and learn about utility providers, public safety agencies, evacuation zones, school zones, property information and much more.

The website will be featured on Lee County social media channels and through the electronic newsletter.
