Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners of Collier County is considering a proclamation recognizing Juneteenth. This item is currently under review and has been sponsored by Commissioner Burt Saunders. The proclamation is intended to honor freedom, unity, culture, and community empowerment, encouraging residents to participate in related activities. The NAACP and community partners are hosting a "Juneteenth Celebration" on May 30th at Golden Gate Community Center, focusing on themes of Black Wealth, Health, Excellence, and Strong Families. This event will include family-friendly activities, performances, food, and community outreach. While this is a proclamation and not a construction project, it highlights community events that may involve local businesses providing services or supplies for the celebration. Businesses interested in supporting community events or providing services related to cultural celebrations may find opportunities by connecting with event organizers or community groups involved in such initiatives.
