The Village of Estero is thrilled to introduce it’s “VILLAGE CENTER”, located in the heart of Estero.
As part of the approved 2020 Open Space Master Plan, the Village of Estero has identified four areas (sometimes referred to as “hubs”) of focus for “placemaking” – developing these areas to incorporate community aesthetic features and connecting them to each other through multi-modal corridors as destinations for the benefit of residents and visitors.
The “Village Center Hub” is the first being master planned to create high-intensity, mixed-use land uses, based on vibrant sports and entertainment uses.
The Hub is already home to the Village’s civic uses, Estero High School, and Estero Community Park and Recreation Center. Through a public-private approach, the Village Center Hub will soon include interconnected mixed-use sports and entertainment campuses that features recreational facilities, parks, public spaces, and many more for residents and visitors to enjoy.
“The Hub” will be a vibrant, multigenerational destination for residents and visitors alike!
