Dear Pam,
The Collier County has requested authorization from the Department to proceed with a Beautification

This Letter of Authorization allows Collier County to proceed with their Beautification Grant submittal

If awarded, the Beautification Grant will assist with funding for the proposed landscape improvements on Collier
Boulevard (SR-951) from SS Jolley Bridge to Capri Boulevard that will be delineated in the formal application. The
landscape improvements project limits for SR-951 (Roadway ID #03030000) are from Mile Post 2.908 (at the SS
Jolley Bridge) to Mile Post 4.135 (at the Capri Boulevard intersection).
CCRMD humbly requests for you to please review the District One’s Five-Year Work Plan as to identify any
potential conflicts with our proposed landscape beautification project.
Upon your determination of ‘no conflict’, please at your earliest convenience issue CCRMD a formal Letter of
Authorization allowing us to proceed with the abovementioned project’s FDOT Beautification Grant Application
