Costco Is Coming to Cape Coral: What Commercial Growth Means for the City | Cape Insight

Costco is coming to Cape Coral — and it's part of a much bigger shift in how this city is being built out. Dan Sheppard and Don Apking break down where the Costco project stands, what else is in the commercial pipeline, and what more retail and commercial development actually means for residents: the tax base, the traffic, the jobs, and the long-standing problem of a city built almost entirely on residential lots. In this episode: • [Where the Costco project stands and what's been approved] • [What else is in the commercial pipeline right now] • [Why commercial development matters to your tax bill] • [Traffic and infrastructure that has to come with it] • [What the city still needs and isn't getting] Dan served on City Council for District 2 from 2020 to 2024, and Don has served on the city's Planning and Zoning Commission — so both have sat on the approval side of projects like these.
