THE INNOVATION WALK

Do you know how Thomas Edison and Henry Ford sparked the genius of innovation
in Fort Myers?

The Innovation Walk is reigniting this legacy of human genius, melding the past with future-forward thinkers. This placemaking initiative endeavors to create an activated sidewalk along the historic River District, igniting a new era of global ‘illumineers’. Imagine an augmented reality, virtual reality, iconic sidewalk – that’s the vision.
