This notice is about a proposed change to wireless communication facility regulations in Collier County. The Board of County Commissioners is reviewing a plan that would require these facilities to be screened by a wall or fence. This fence must be 100 percent opaque, between 8 and 10 feet tall, and designed to prevent unauthorized access. Barbed wire will not be allowed. Vertex is proposing an eight-foot chain link fence with slats and a locked gate as an example. This item is currently under review by the county. If approved, this could lead to work involving site preparation, fence installation, and potentially security system upgrades for future wireless communication facilities. Contractors specializing in fencing, site preparation, and security systems may find opportunities. Early engagement with the county and the applicant could provide insight into specific project requirements as plans develop.
