The Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency was created by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on March 14, 2000 by Resolution 2000-82. The Agency has two redevelopment areas: The Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Area (BGTCRA) and Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area. The BGTCRA is comprised of approximately 1,800 acres with a wide range of residential and commercial properties. To improve the coordination and efficiency of project management, the BGTCRA took over the management of the Bayshore Beautification MSTU in 2009 and the Haldeman Creek Dredging MSTU in 2010.

What’s Happening
Redevelopment Plan Update:
In 2000, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Collier County Community Redevelopment Plan and after 19 years of steady improvements in the area, the CRA approved updating the plan to review the current conditions and establish a vision for the next 20 years. In January 2018, the CRA Board approved a contract with TOA Design Group to update the plan. Over the past year, several community meetings, stakeholder interviews and public forums were held to seek input to develop a revised plan. The public hearing process began in March 2019.
On April 23, 2019 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2019-75 to approve the plan amendment. To view the adopted plan amendment please click on the link below:

17 Acre Cultural Survey
The Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA is currently in the process of updating its CRA Plan (Plan) to articulate a unified vision while identifying new redevelopment strategies, projects, and programs. In concert with this plan update, the CRA is evaluating the 17.89 Acre catalyst site known as the Cultural Arts Village at Bayshore. The CRA owned property provides an opportunity to help set the vision for the community. A community survey was taken and over 750 people responded.

Mini Triangle Catalyst Project:
The sale of the 5.27 acre catalyst project continues to move forward. In 2018, the rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment was approved. In addition, the Board approved the Cell Tower Agreement with Crown Castle setting the terms and conditions to decommission, demolish and remove the existing tower on the property and terminate the lease in advance of 2024. Closing on the property was contingent on the removal of the cell tower. Crown Castle is awaiting final approval from the FAA to relocate the tower to another site. Based on the purchase agreement, the closing is expected in the last quarter of 2019.
Fire Suppression Phase 2 CDBG Grant Award – The Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA received notice that the project was awarded $227,960 to continue improving fire safety in the community by increasing water pressure and installing fire hydrants along Becca Avenue and Pine Street.
