The Immokalee Area Master Plan has undergone significant restudy in the past few years. The Community Redevelopment Agency led the effort to gain input from stakeholders, residents and businesses, which ultimately established a vision for the future of Immokalee. The current restudy effort will begin with their proposed vision, and through public workshops and updated data and analysis, determine if any further changes will improve the Immokalee Area Master Plan. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) has initiated a series of evaluations (called restudies) of several areas in eastern Collier County including Immokalee. The purpose of the study for Immokalee is to evaluate and update the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP). Public Participation and input is important to the restudy process. Several public workshops have been scheduled throughout Immokalee to provide broad access for public participation.
