2000-83 establishing the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and identifying two areas
within unincorporated Collier County (Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee) as areas in need of
redevelopment. In addition, Resolution 2000-83 authorized the creation of Local Advisory Boards by separate
resolution to assist in the implementation of the redevelopment plan. The CRA adopted Resolution 2001 -98, which

advisory committee. The purpose of this committee is to be the primary vehicle for community and professional
input to the CRA for matters relating to the Immokalee Redevelopment Area. Terms are 3 years. A list of the
current membership is included in the backup.
