Collier County is considering the acquisition of approximately 52.26 acres of land in Everglades City for potential airport-related use, public water access, recreation, and housing. The property is currently undeveloped. The County is in the review phase of this acquisition, with a proposed closing date on or before July 1, 2026. If the acquisition proceeds, the County will conduct due diligence, which may involve environmental reviews, title searches, surveys, and development feasibility studies. This project could lead to opportunities for contractors involved in site preparation, environmental services, land surveying, and potentially construction if future development occurs. Early engagement with the County's real property management team is advised, as plans are still being finalized.
