Immokalee Community Redevelopment Advisory Board

On March 14, 2000 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolutions 2000-82 and 2000- 83 establishing the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency and identifying two areas within unincorporated Collier County (Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee) as areas in need of redevelopment. In addition, Resolution 2000-83 authorized the creation of Local Advisory Boards by separate resolution to assist in the implementation of the redevelopment plan. The CRA adopted Resolution 2001-98, which provided that the Immokalee Enterprise Zone Development Agency would also be the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board. When the Florida Enterprise Zone Act was repealed in 2015, the CRA adopted Resolutions 15- 217 and 15-218 establishing the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board as a standalone advisory committee. On May 27, 2025, the Board of Collier County Commissioners approved CRA Resolution No. 2025-113 of the Community Redevelopment Agency of Collier County, Florida, approving the creation and bylaws of the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Advisory Board.
