11. County Manager's Report

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners is considering a recommendation to expand the Collier County Landfill to the East, known as Option I. This expansion is planned in three phases. The project also involves directing staff to acquire land for this expansion. Separately, the Board will provide a final ranking for the 166.63-acre Smits property, located south of Sabal Palm Rd., approximately 1.5 miles east of Collier Blvd. This property is being considered for acquisition using funds from the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Fund. The project is currently under review, with a recommendation to proceed with land acquisition and expansion planning. This will likely involve site clearing and grading, potential underground utility work, and construction related to landfill operations. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the project's scope and potential phases, as this offers an advantage before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
