Collier County Infrastructure One Cent Surtax Update
In 2018 Collier County tax payers voted in the Collier County Infrastructure One Cent Surtax. Of all these funds collected the last few years, $20M was allocated to facilitate land acquisitions for affordable housing projects in Collier County. At the Board of County Commissions (BCC) meeting on March 28th, the board unanimously adopted the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee’s (AHAC) proposed plan for private land owners and developers to submit their projects to Collier County in effort to utilize these funds to create affordable housing units in Collier County. The Land must be purchased by the County but can utilized the Collier County Community Land Trust (CCCLT) in a JV effort with a 100 year land lease to retain permanent affordable housing in Collier County. You can watch the full discussion on this matter by CLICKING HERE and click on section 11.F in the agenda below the video. Additional materials can be downloaded from the BCC HERE.
