Where does Fort Myers rank for remote workers
The City of Palms comes in at #11 on the list. I'm guessing the list was composed prior to Hurricane Ian because one of the factors listed is the large stretch of barrier islands our area is known and loved for. Unfortunately, those islands are now mostly closed for business as usual. Hurricane recovery is fast and furiously underway.
However, other reasons the city was listed are still quite valid. They include affordability when compared to many other Florida destinations. In addition, the large number of holiday activities that the area boasts. They include everything from light displays, to charity events and boat parades. Southwest Floridians definitely know how to celebrate the holidays. Hurricane Ian or not.
Fort Myers a top holiday destinations for remote workers. However, the City of Palms fell just underneath these top ten destinations.
