SMH is the St. Mathews House company that has run the Port LaBelle Inn for several years with a few guests on the second floor, while housing drug and alcohol rehab clients on the entire third floor. The hotel is now closed.
The large scale proposal includes building 28 multi-family units, 14 future guest/visitor rooms, 10 guest cottages, 14 single-family homes, 40,000 square feet of commercial use and 120,000 square feet of self-storage units.

The changes would have to be approved by both Hendry and Glades county, and the state as the requests involve changing the zoning, and changing the Comprehensive Land Plan for both Hendry and Glades county, the Comp Plan which has to be approved also by the State.
A meeting will be held by Johnson Engineering and representatives on Wednesday, July 30 at 6 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of LaBelle at 330 N. Main St., LaBelle.
Some of the questions that have been raised and submitted to Johnson Engineering but not yet answered by Johnson Engineering include:
Is it true that SMH has had discussions with a party who is interested in purchasing the property subject to the approvals?
Which county departments have given their approval so far in the Comp Plan and Zoning request process?
Who has been sent notice of the July 30 meeting?
Questions and comments can be sent to Johnson Engineering, LLC's city planner, Amanda Martin, AICP at amartin@johnsoneng.com or (239) 461-2487. If you want to participate in the meeting remotely contact them.
