Hearing Examiner Meeting · 2026-04-23 · agenda_item

Collier County staff is recommending approval for the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Campus Expansion project. This project proposes to expand existing educational facilities on a 30.22-acre developed property. The expansion includes a new dormitory complex, outdoor pavilions, a new gravel road, and a new parking area. The project is currently under review by the Hearing Examiner, with a recommendation for approval subject to specific conditions. The work will involve site clearing and grading, construction of new buildings, installation of underground utilities, paving for the new road and parking area, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to learn more about this project as plans develop, as this is an early stage in the public process before final site plans, bids, and permits are issued.
