The Conservation Collier Program is reviewing a property for potential acquisition and management. This program, approved by voters and the Board of County Commissioners, aims to acquire and manage environmentally sensitive lands. The property in question is owned by Jerry J, Robert J, and Pamela Smits et al. and is identified by Folio Number 00438400007. An Initial Criteria Screening Report has been prepared to assess how the property meets the program's requirements, including its location, screening criteria, potential funding, appropriate use, site improvements, and estimated management costs. This report is currently under review. If acquired, the project could involve site preparation, environmental management, and potentially minor infrastructure improvements for conservation purposes. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs before final plans and permits are established.
