Collier County And EDC Working Together
Collier County Commissioners and the Economic Development Council of Collier County (EDC) will be spending about $560,000 to attractive new businesses to eastern Collier County. The target of their efforts will be businesses involved in distribution, manufacturing, information technology, life sciences, and financial services.
The Immokalee’s airport will be one of the targeted area for the new businesses as it offers about 5 million square feet of aviation and non-aviation related business on 600 acres.
The Tradeport Technology Park and Silver Strand Business Park are expending to make ready for the new businesses.
The development of new businesses in eastern Collier County should be welcomed as it could possibly reduce the east to west traffic flow during the morning rush hour and the reverse west to east traffic flow during the evening rush hour.
With the town of Ave Maria and Ave Maria University in the general area being touted for business development should assist the new businesses in finding well qualified employees.
Both the Collier County Board of Commissioners and EDC should be complemented on their forward looking views on this matter.
