Building Permits have increased 30% in Collier County

NORTH NAPLES —A new resort-style gated community will soon sprout in North Naples, sprawling over nearly 1,800 acres. 

This project alone is expected to create and support an estimated 600 to 800 jobs per year.

The turnaround doesn't just help construction workers. It means work for machine operators, engineers, surveyors, landscapers, interior designers and others whose business is tied to new development.

Building permits have increased 30% in Collier County.  There has been significant increases in single family homes being built in Marco Island as well.
