Fort Myers City leaders are discussing the idea of annexing at least part of North Fort Myers to make the incorporated area part of their own city.
The two areas are currently separated by the Caloosahatchee River.
People like Deborah Cop and Charles Garretson choose to live in North Fort Myers to escape the so-called city life close by.
“I like that it’s more rural and not a city,” Cop said.
“Right now I would be worried about the city coming in here,” Garretson added.
