Fowler Construction and Development was the recipient of the prestigious 2009 Summit Award for the design of Fort Myers Beach Station #32 at the Greater FMB Chamber of Commerce

Luncheon at Matanzas Inn Restaurant Thursday.

Robert Fowler Jr. received a plaque from Fort Myers Beach Fire Chief Mike Becker in honor of the building at 17891 San Carlos Blvd. The distinction goes to the best public works project in the community building industry in Lee County.

"What's most special about this award is that it is a collaboration of so many folks in this Beach community," said Fowler. "The collaborating team consists of, first and foremost, the district who was very much part of the planning. Chief Becker and his staff were very gracious and intentional about what they needed to accomplish to best serve the Fort Myers Beach community.

"Another major part of the planning team is Gora McGahey (the architectural firm). We've teamed with them on quite a few fire stations recently. We started that relationship on the Fort Myers Beach Library in 1991. We're very proud and appreciative of the chance to serve the Beach in this capacity."

Becker was proud to present such an award.
