We have worked with the PACE school in Immokalee in 2016,educating students about
human trafficking and inspiring them to create art which will inform others.We would
like to expand the program by working with students and parents in the Coalition of
Immokalee workers.This would be especially suited to the migrant worker families as the
Project Description art form we are using is large banners based on art often used in Guatemala.
We feel that this would be an especially significant project as many of the students and
teachers at the PACE school have indicated a desire to know more about the Coalition and
the migrant families would have a lot to express about their experiences in their
indigenous art.
Timeline We expect that we would do this program in the Spring,with planning stages beginning in
December.The program might expand into summer programs as well.

Human Trafficking in Hendry and Glades counties is a severely underreported crime that
affects children,adults,migrants and many other segments of the population. To
effectively prevent,reduce and identify this crime there needs to be a systematic approach
that involves social services,law enforcement,medical services,mental health and child
welfare.
This project would entail the Human Trafficking Resource Center coordinating a
Project Description concerted awareness effort to all of the above mentioned at risk populations in a culturally
and person centered manner. The center will also collaborate with the Sheriff's
Department in Hendry county to establish a dedicated law enforcement officer to
investigate human trafficking. The Collier County Sheriff will provide training to all
newly assigned detectives.Finally,the center will also coordinate the delivery and
accessibility of services to identified survivors of human trafficking.All of the statistical
information obtained would be collected and analyzed by the center and then made
available to the community at large.
The partnerships have already been established and the project would be prepared to begin
Timeline on February 1',2017. The total project time would be three calendar years(02/01/17-
02/01/20).
Increased identification and investigation of both sex and labor trafficking in the identified
target areas.
Benefits Markedly improved community awareness in the identified target areas.
The development of a concerted community effort that is accessible and effective for
survivors of human trafficking in the area.

Of all the shelters in Collier County today, none specialize in long-term housing and
rehabilitation care for sex trafficking victims. The Path2Freedom campus will provide
transitional and restorative services coupled with long- term safe housing for rescued
victims of sex trafficking. The program focuses on empowering survivors to become
independent and self-sufficient through a wide range of services, including counseling,
medical care,educational and re-employment assistance and social re-entry.
Florida ranks 3rd nationally in human trafficking cases with the area between Miami and
Tampa ranking# 1 in the state. The Path 2 Freedom Master Plan intentionally defines a
"progression of care" that the organization believes is essential for deliveries in the
rescued individual's journey. That path, starting with their rescue and arrival on the
campus,through individualized professional care and restoration services and culminating
in their release back to society is the goal for this facility.
Project Description There exists no Specialty Treatment Facility presently in the SW Florida area with this
facility filling that need. This campus will be situated in the Immokalee, Florida area to
enable the organization to successfully service the 5 county area of Collier, Glades,
Hendry,Lee and Charlotte.
This project will be completed in several phases, will include administration/intake
building, seven residential safe houses, counseling center building, educational &
vocational training building, community center, animal therapy barn, rescue kennels and
equine therapy.
This project will be developed in two or three phases. The attached projections are for the
entire project cost and for an annual running budget when facility is opened.
Attached is the projected budget for the entire Path 2 Freedom campus as well as the
Phase 1 building budget.
Timeline Anticipated time frame for this project is to break ground in 2016 with Phase 1 with
completion of Phase 1 late 2017.Phase 2 will follow with the addition of funds.
With SWFL area ranking # 1within the state of Florida in human trafficking it is far
Benefits overdue that a Specialty Treatment Facility be available to rescued humans within the
Glades,Hendry counties and Immokalee area.

An alliance for combined action is always better than a single entity's actions alone.
Social action issues have traditionally banded together in coalitions with examples of
domestic violence and sexual assault services coalitions having profound impacts on those
issues nationwide. Currently there are no comprehensive advocacy coalitions,or for that
fact,even a model,that address human trafficking virtually anywhere.
This proposal is poised to act as a replicable human trafficking Coalition model that
Project Description allows the distribution of funding to service providers,the professional training and
certification of direct service providers,first responders,criminal justice and court
personnel and volunteers,the technical support for service providers that includes website
design and support,grant oversite,a regional dedicated toll free crisis line and links to
referrals for immediate crisis needs.
In the future,VOCA,VAWA,State and other crime victim funding will be sought for
coalition service provider members.
Evaluation of the need for coordination among service providers or those espousing values
that address human trafficking is completed and a strategic plan laid out that would meet
Timeline these needs.Infrastructure will be in place within six weeks of secured funding.
All projects based on 12 months implementation from funding date.
When concern about the horror-of human trafficking first entered our conscious in the late
1990's,evidence of that was in Immokalee,Florida.That area was used as the impetus and
unfortunate role model for exactly what trafficking looked like.It is hard to believe that in
the two decades since,there has not been an organized coalition to reduce and address the
Benefits crime of trafficking in this area.
Funding this coalition that will bring competing and often at-odds organizations together,
as a united front to reduce this crime and provide for the needs of trafficked persons is
long overdue in what was known in the 1990's as"trafficking central". When social issue
entrepreneurs,even those with their hearts in the right place,smell money,things go awry

quickly.The Coalition,based in"trafficking central"will bring together the service
providers to use a peer system to determine funding allocations,and act as one advocacy
voice in State and Federal arenas.
Additionally the Coalition would become the pass-through funding source for member
agencies,set standards of expectations and then review and report to the appropriate
funding source on the member agencies ability to implement and maintain the high service
provision standards.
Since the trafficking of persons was first signed into federal law in 2000,success in
implementing the provisions and programs within that law has been sporadic and uneven.
Funding this coalition will approach every element of its approach primarily as one of
crime reduction and secondarily one of education.

Local Match The Shelter understands that match dollars vary by funding source and is prepared to
provide any match funds required by funding agencies.
The Shelter faces the effects of human trafficking every day.Recently,The Shelter was
presented with a shocking situation that touched everyone's heart in the facility.It was a
photo of a mobile brothel,acquired by the Collier County Sheriffs Office(CCSO)which
was driven to farm fields,construction sites,and local neighborhoods.The women in the
van were forced to have sex with men that had lined up outside of the vehicle.Once the
line ended,the driver closed the doors and drove to the next site.
Domestic violence and human trafficking are different forms of victimization.However,
there are many similarities between both crimes.Perpetrators of human trafficking and
domestic violence use power and control to terrorize and control their victims. Similar to
victims of domestic violence,survivors of human trafficking are controlled and mistreated
by those who are close to them.Both victims suffer from physical and sexual abuse,
isolation,threats of harm,name calling,degradation,shame,and control of finances.
Project Description The Shelter has extensive experience in providing services to victims of domestic violence
and human trafficking.During the period of July 1,2015 through June 30,2016,The
Shelter provided services to over 2,200 victims of domestic violence and became a safe
haven to thirteen victims of human trafficking.The Shelter has the wrap around services
and collaborating partners needed to offer victims of human trafficking the support and
guidance necessary to help them regain control of their lives.
The Southwest Florida Region lacks an emergency shelter that oversees the critical needs
of victims of domestic violence and the long-term therapeutic care for victims of human
trafficking.The Shelter is seeking funding in order to build a Domestic Violence and
Human Trafficking Emergency Shelter in Immokalee,Florida.Funds will be utilized
toward the construction of the facility. When construction is complete,The Shelter will
offer safety through its emergency shelter,counseling and advocacy,transitional housing,
community referrals,economic empowerment,medical assistance,court and legal
advocacy,substance abuse assistance,and much more.

It is estimated conservatively that mitigation costs associated with developing an ATV
park in the full footprint of the Immokalee Airport is $3,646,000. The Collier County
Parks and Recreation Division is seeking to develop a conceptual plan of an ATV Park
and approach US Fish and Wildlife to determine a more accurate estimate of panther
mitigation necessary to fully develop the parcel.
Total Project Cost The Division also has at its disposal $3,000,000 for the design, further permitting, and
construction of the site. Given that the total estimate is considered to be $6,646,000;
however, exploration to lower that total costs is dependent on the review of the US Fish
and Wildlife Service and US Army Corps of Engineers permits and design. Mitigation
costs associated with panthers typically involve purchase of Panther Habitat Units
(PHU's) from a land management bank.in Florida. These lands are preserved in
perpetuity for an expanded habitat for the panther.
The Division is looking for a contribution of up to $3,646,000, which is the conservative
Amount Requested estimate associated with the costs related to panther mitigation by the U.S.Fish&Wildlife
Service and other U.S.Army Corps of Engineers permits.
Local Match Local cash contribution$3 million legal settlement targeted for an ATV/dirt bike park.
Assistance with purchase of PHU's required for the development of the parcel is necessary
because 2/3's of the parcel is located within a secondary panther habitat zone. This is an
area that is known to have panther habitat. Given the proximity of the land to the airport it
is not considered a primary habitat zone by US Fish and Wildlife that constructed the
boundaries of both the primary and secondary zones.
Once permit requirements are satisified for this environmental impact, other permitting
agencies will need to be satisfied, but this remains the biggest hurdle for the project and
the best opportunity given the land's proximity to the airport, which are lands already
disturbed for this use. A favorable response from the US Fish and Wildlife Service will
Project Description see that worst case scenario of funding needed for PHU's to be reduced.
Immokalee's agrarian economy is being diversified with industries that have rising
opportunities, including the recreational economy, gaming and adventure tourism.
Immokalee already has the Immokalee Regional Raceway, a drag racing strip. The
Immokalee ATV Park and Adventureland would complement the raceway by creating
ATV and dirt bike trails and other possible recreational experiences, such as zip lines, as
well as a campground for overnight stays. Participants from the Florida Culinary
Accelerator @ Immokalee, which is expected to start construction in December, would
operate the concession stand, local residents would be hired for other jobs, i 11,Ch

and young Immokalee entrepreneurs could set up an ATV and dirt bike rental shop. Our
feasibility study estimates there would be 100 visits daily at a fee of$20 each for an ATV
park alone, with total annual revenue estimated at $409,000 annually. The Parks and
Recreation Division will pay the Immokalee Regional Airport a total of 15 percent of
gross revenues from the Park and $1,000 monthly as fair market value for use of the
property.
The Park itself comes from a settlement agreement reached with South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) when they acquired lands within Picuyne Forest in
Southern Collier County. SFWMD agreed to purchase the lands for Everglades
Restoration,but also to provide for a place for those who enjoyed the area with ATV's to
recreate. SFWMD attempts to find a suitable location were not successful and SFWMD
and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners reached a settlement where funds
would be provided to the Board for them to pursue the development of an ATV Park for
Collier County citizens. The Board is committed to seeking out a suitable location for
ATV enthusiasts to enjoy this recreational pursuit in Collier County.
The Parks and Recreation ATV Park Site Ad Hoc Committee has been meeting regularly
Timeline for public hearings to discuss options, find a site and conduct feasibility studies. A 2019
opening date has been targeted. Land around Immokalee Regional Airport totaling 300
acres has been recommended.Total development cost are estimated at$6.246 million.
This project aims to diversify available resources and activities within the SWFL Rural
Promise Zone and expand the recreational economy for the three-county Promise Zone
areas. Regionally, services would be expanded to improve and benefit residents as well as
visitors. The park would draw participants and spectators from across the state and
perhaps the region, boosting adventure tourism and agri-tourism, bringing people to
Immokalee businesses, and area farms. Regionally, it would diversify the available
resources, drawing people to Glades and Hendry counties, especially Lazy Springs
Benefits Recreation Park in Felda (Hendry County), which offers motocross, 4x4, fishing,
waterskiing and wave runners (three-wheel ATVs are prohibited) on Saturdays and
Sundays. At Immokalee ATV Park & Adventureland, the three counties could share
championships during alternating years. There is a possibility we could draw national
events, such as championships or award dinners, which could be held at the Seminole
Casino. The Florida Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee would benefit because an ATV
and entertainment park would provide a venue for our chef entrepreneur participants to
sell their products at an ATV park concession stand.
The overall target of this project is to be a catalyst for economic and recreational
Promise Zone development in the Southwest Florida Promise Zone. The park would provide residents
Goals and visitors with a sports venue, draw visitors to the area and pump money into the
economy by increasing adventure tourism and agri-tourism.
The park, which would initially be open Friday through Monday, would bring people to
Immokalee and those who drove a long distance would stay in the ATV park campground
and spend money in the local economy. ATV park visitors would purchase food at the
Regional Impact concession stand or area restaurants. It likely would increase numbers of people watching
weekend races at Immokalee Regional Raceway and possibly draw visitors to the Lazy
Springs Entertainment Park in Felda, Hendry County, a 375-acre entertainment and ATV
park about 14 miles away that also offers water skiing, wave runners, fishing and
motocross. In Immokalee, visitors could go to the farmers market, the Pepper Ranch and

the county's Immokalee Pioneer Museum, which both host festivals and tours. Shooting
enthusiasts would likely be drawn to the hog and turkey hunts held at the Immokalee
Pioneer Museum. The park could be a boon to Immokalee's Lake Trafford Marina,which
features "airboats and alligators" rides. Visitors also might drive the roughly 40 miles to
Naples and frequent businesses,museums,art galleries,and restaurants there.

Project Description Food trucks are a dynamic mobile marketing and distribution vehicle for"foodpreneurs"
that allow them to enter the market without a brick-and-mortar restaurant.Because they're
mobile billboards that offer pop up culinary services,they will market the Immokalee-
based accelerator.Food trucks also will be used in secondary school outreach programs to

Glades and Hendry Counties and the Immokalee area of Collier County have historically
been agriculture and natural resource-based economies, with an emphasis on growing
sugar cane, oranges, and table vegetables and harvesting natural resources including pine,
sand and aggregate. The increasingly mechanized harvesting and
processing/manufacturing of these resources into usable products has had two effects on
the regional economy: the increased mechanization has displaced manual labor over time
and the increasingly automated nature of agricultural processing and manufacturing
requires that new and incumbent workers receive training in a variety of disciplines
including information technology (as more and more processes and equipment are
computer driven and use programable logic and other software driven programs) and
advanced manufacturing disciplines like robotics, CNC machining and other skills
requiring training and/or certification. This need is exacerbated by the aging out of the
baby boomer generation employed by these businesses as they approach retirement.At the
same time, all of those agricultural and natural resource products, be they sugar, mortar,
mulch or orange juice must be packaged, labeled or assigned a barcode, entered into a
Project Description database, shipped and often tracked using advanced IT applications requiring instruction
not only in information technology but cyber security as well, creating a need for training
in warehousing, logistics and transportation. Many of these skills are then transferrable to
other advanced manufacturing and logistics operations, providing an opportunity for
Promise Zone Communities to recruit new manufacturing and logistics businesses and
thereby diversify the local economy.
The goal of the Glades County Regional Training Center project is to provide a
sustainable pipeline of talent for existing businesses in the region and for new
manufacturing and warehousing companies which can be recruited to the area. This will
be accomplished(once the facility is complete and equipped to offer courses identified as
needed by existing businesses through a series of focus groups) by working with our
partners in the education, workforce and economic development communities to identify
and assess potential entry level and incumbent worker trainees from high school age, to
out of school youth, TANF recipients, veterans and others who are un or underemployed
and providing a training/career pathway (via hands on coursework leading to industry
certifications)and job placement via job fairs,internships and apprenticeships.

Existing businesses have identified a need to hire in excess of 300 people per year to
replace employees as they approach retirement.Other companies which have been
recruited to the area since 2009 have seen their workforces double and foresee an

of these existing businesses to recruit new employees will help us establish that we have
the ability to provide a talent pipeline for new companies which we can recruit to the
region,thereby diversifying the local economy.
By providing training to underemployed populations in the region,we'll increase the
number of individuals with education certifications in growing industries in the region and
Promise Zone fill jobs expected to be created through retirement while at the same time providing an
Goals incentive(in the form of grant-funded skills training for new and incumbent workers)to
new companies to expand and relocate to the region,creating other jobs and promoting
economic development.
Although the Glades County regional training center is located in Glades County,it is
expected to serve students and businesses in Glades and Hendry Counties as well as

Circle C Farm Abattoir & Butcher Shop will continue to provide the most ethical and
humane harvesting of animals along with the highest quality local grass fed meats and
meat processing services to our community of local and regional farmers in the State of
Florida and to meat eating consumers. To date,there is no other facility in the state that
is positioned to provide these services to farmers.
Our new facility on an additional 70 acres would further support small farmers who are
part of our Circle C Farm network of grass fed farmers program in the region by providing
a location in which they could sell their grass fed animals to us for general consumption
Project Description and resale of meats in our butcher shop. Further supporting local farmers' ability to have
an outlet for their quality grown animals other than the livestock market; which typically
pays them less than the animal is worth.

This project is an expansion of a pilot program focusing on CNAs that was facilitated by
the FutureMakers Coalition in 2016.The pilot was based off the shared identified issue of
a lack of persistence for CNAs and local employer demand.Based on that program,
similar pipelines,focused on alignment and supplemental financial aid,are sought to be
created.
First,technical education programs that have low completion rates will be identified.Then
program providers,fmancial aid providers,and related local employers together to map
Project Description system and identify gaps will be convened, as well as students/former students in
identified programs to identify achievement barriers.This information will then be report
back to stakeholders group,create action plan/micro-strategies to fill gaps,reduce barriers.
From that plan rapid-cycle testing micro-strategies to streamline system will follow.
Menawhile,enrolled student will be tracked for persistence and progress,which will help
to identify students needing additional financial support.Those students can then apply for

The goal of this project is to increase access of The Farm Labor Supervisor(FLS)training
program through online and interne services.The FLS program started in 2010 as an
educational program for supervisors of seasonal and migrant farmworkers to increase their
Project Description knowledge of farm labor regulations,promote safety culture within the farming
organization,and enhance the overall professionalism among farm labor supervisors.
Funding from this project will expand access of training classes and materials for farm
labor supervisors of specialty crop farms by creating online training modules and
facilitating on-farm training workshops.
As of September 2016, 13 training modules have been developed ranging from wage/hour
and antidiscrimination to transportation and pesticide safety to first aid and CPR.These
classes have been developed as traditional extension workshops where the training is done
face-to-face with the participants.In the first year of this two-year project,8 classes will
Timeline be converted into an online format complete with knowledge assessment capability.Also
during the first year,various video conferencing technologies such as Skype and GoTo
Meeting will be incorporated to facilitate workshops at distance locations.Marketing
efforts will encourage the utilization of the training materials during the second year and a
program evaluation of the online training will be conducted.
Benefits Expand access of FLS training program through online and distance technologies.
Education: Starting in 2014 the UF/IFAS Certificate of Farm Labor Management was
awarded to anyone completing eight FLS classes and successfully passing a knowledge
test for each class.This certificate of achievement recognizes a professional
Promise Zone accomplishment of a farm labor supervisor.
Goals Economic Development:As knowledge,awareness,and overall professionalism of farm
labor supervisors increase,the economic and social welfare of seasonal and migrant farm
workers(the bulk of the labor hired by Florida's specialty crop farms)will be improved.
More directly,the number and severity of regulatory fmes levied against agricultural
operations will be reduced and productivity of the workforce should increase.

Glades and Hendry Counties and the Immokalee area of Collier County have historically
been agriculture and natural resource-based economies, with an emphasis on growing
sugar cane, oranges, and table vegetables and harvesting natural resources including pine,
sand and aggregate. The increasingly mechanized harvesting and
processing/manufacturing of these resources into usable products has had two effects on
the regional economy: the increased mechanization has displaced manual labor over time
and the increasingly automated nature of agricultural processing and manufacturing
requires that new and incumbent workers receive training in a variety of disciplines
including information technology (as more and more processes and equipment are
computer driven and use programable logic and other software driven programs) and
advanced manufacturing disciplines like robotics, CNC machining and other skills
requiring training and/or certification. This need is exacerbated by the aging out of the
baby boomer generation employed by these businesses as they approach retirement.At the
same time, all of those agricultural and natural resource products, be they sugar, mortar,
mulch or orange juice must be packaged, labeled or assigned a barcode, entered into a
Project Description database, shipped and often tracked using advanced IT applications requiring instruction
not only in information technology but cyber security as well, creating a need for training
in warehousing, logistics and transportation.Many of these skills are then transferrable to
other advanced manufacturing and logistics operations, providing an opportunity for
Promise Zone Communities to recruit new manufacturing and logistics businesses and
thereby diversify the local economy.
The goal of the Glades County Regional Training Center project is to provide a
sustainable pipeline of talent for existing businesses in the region and for new
manufacturing and warehousing companies which can be recruited to the area. This will
be accomplished(once the facility is complete and equipped to offer courses identified as
needed by existing businesses through a series of focus groups) by working with our
partners in the education, workforce and economic development communities to identify
and assess potential entry level and incumbent worker trainees from high school age, to
out of school youth, TANF recipients, veterans and others who are un or underemployed
and providing a training/career pathway (via hands on coursework leading to industry
certifications)and job placement via job fairs,internships and apprenticeships.

replace employees as they approach retirement. Other companies which have been
recruited to the area since 2009 have seen their workforces double and foresee an
Benefits additional need to hire additional employees as they expand.The ability to meet the needs
of these existing businesses to recruit new employees will help us establish that we have
the ability to provide a talent pipeline for new companies which we can recruit to the
region,thereby diversifying the local economy.
By providing training to underemployed populations in the region,we'll increase the
number of individuals with education certifications in growing industries in the region and
Promise Zone fill jobs expected to be created through retirement while at the same time providing an
Goals incentive(in the form of grant-funded skills training for new and incumbent workers)to
new companies to expand and relocate to the region,creating other jobs and promoting
economic development.
Although the Glades County regional training center is located in Glades County,it is
expected to serve students and businesses in Glades and Hendry Counties as well as
Regional Impact residents of the community of Immokalee who may elect to attend training here as similar
programs in Immokalee have waiting lists and in some cases(as in a planned CDL

The Guadalupe Center has three educational programs,aimed at breaking the cycle of
poverty through education for the children of Immokalee,Florida.The Early Childhood
Education Program prepares students from low-income households for kindergarten,
providing them a high-quality academic foundation on which to build.This program
serves 270 students and has a wait list in excess of 400 children consistently.The greatest
need is for students from ages 0-3. In addition to the existing Early Childhood Education
Program,the Guadalupe Center is collaborating with Collier County Public Schools to
provide Early Childhood Education on-site at an elementary school in Immokalee for
teacher's children.In addition,the Guadalupe Center will expand the number of students
and families served, offering approximately 50 children and their families a high-quality,
home-based,family focused curriculum that educates both children and parents.During
Project Description weekly sessions parents will be provided the tools and instruction to guide children
through specific activities and exercises,with an aim of children achieving age appropriate
developmental milestones and gaining skills to succeed in school.
In the After-school Tutoring and Summer Enrichment Program the Guadalupe Center
provides 690 at-risk elementary students from kindergarten through 2nd grade with the
academic support they need to achieve on grade level and eliminate summer learning loss.
Finally,in the Tutor Corps Program the Guadalupe Center ensures that academically
capable but financially needy students successfully graduate high school and have an
opportunity to attend college and pursue their dreams.This program serves 80 high school
students and more than 120 college students.This school year more than 130 high school
students applied for the 24 open slots in this prestigious program.
The programs are on-going with a fiscal year from October 1—September 30.The
Timeline expansions to the Early Childhood Program will occur this fiscal year.Plans are in place
and funding is being sought.
The Early Childhood Education Program has a focus of providing children with the high-
quality education required to enter elementary school prepared.The program has a proven
track record of success that dates back to 2006.Each year more than 85%of voluntary
pre-kindergarten students completing the Guadalupe Center's program are found
Benefits kindergarten ready-surpassing state and national kindergarten readiness rates.
Within the CCPS/ECE collaboration we anticipate that students will gain the skills for
success in elementary school and beyond. Children participating in the Guadalupe
Center's existing ECE program demonstrate more than 90%kindergarten readiness rate

one
upon completion of the program and we anticipate the same for the students served
through the expansion. Of the 50 students and families we serve in the Smart Start
Program,we expect that all families will be connected with tools and resources to aid in
facilitating home learning.In addition,due to weekly sessions with the Program Director
and partnership with the Guadalupe Center's Family Support Worker we anticipate that all
children will either be on track to meet age appropriate developmental milestones or be
connected with appropriate resources as necessary.
The After-school Tutoring Program provides children that are struggling in elementary
school with critical academic enrichment and remediation aimed at enhancing their skills
and getting them to perform on grade level. Students in the program demonstrate gains in
reading and math,and retain their grade level with support from the Guadalupe Center's
team.
Finally,the Tutor Corps Program has a consistent 100%high school graduation rate,and a
90%and better college graduation rate,making it a highly successful college preparatory
program. Students receive a wide array of college preparatory courses in addition to
earning a wage working as tutors in the After-school Tutoring Program.Financial barriers
to higher education are alleviated and removed as students are assisted with scholarship
and fmancial aid applications,and earn Guadalupe Center scholarship dollars.To-date

independence and rely far less on acute care and intensive end-of-life healthcare
services. Instead,they prefer to "Age in Place", that is, remain in their home of
choice for as long as possible. Over 90%of older individuals report that they would
prefer to stay in their residence of choice (AARP, 2015).
These individuals will need a wide range of services to allow them to reside and
thrive where they choose,and to supply area healthcare providers with personnel
that meet their rigorous needs for quality, highly skilled, compassionate caregivers.
Hodges University School of Allied Health(SOAH) will develop and implement a
multilevel nursing education program to address the personnel needs of home,
assisted living, memory care, outpatient, and institutional healthcare providers. The
nursing profession is a diverse, highly specialized part of the medical delivery
system in this country. It encompasses a wide continuum and extends from
Project Description certificate programs in nursing assistant and practical nursing through associate,
bachelor, and master's degrees, to doctoral degrees for nursing practice. We will
enter this continuum in two places; at the Certified Nurse Assistant level and also
the Associate to Bachelor bridge program for registered nurses, known as a RN to
BSN program. Further, our plan is to develop and implement"bridge"programs
moving students seamlessly from one professional level to the next as
recommended by the National League for Nursing(NLN) (NLN, 2011).
An integral component to all medical training is the opportunity to experience a
variety of medical situations prior to actual patient contact. This project will focus
on the acquisition of Laerdal Adult,Neonate and Obstetric advanced patient
simulators and supporting equipment.

2014 Horizon Council survey of SWFL employers found workforce issues surrounding
soft skills(foundational skills)in the employee pool.Based on this survey,the most
important foundational skills for the local workforce were determined to be active
listening,critical thinking/problem solving,interpersonal skills,teamwork,and work ethic.
This project first seeks to develop a locally tailored curriculum based on these
foundational skills that can be implemented at the high school and post-secondary level.
Project Description The curriculum will then be piloted with students and provisionally expanded at the
regional Florida Southwestern State College(FSW). Students completing the program will
be issued special certificates.Employers will be coached on the curriculum content and
facilitated through alignment of the curriculum with their interview and hiring processes
through workshops.A PR campaign to foster value of the completion certification and
recruit additional employers to the alignment workshops will be created.Students
completing the program will be tracked through the interview and employment process to
determine the effectiveness and impact of the program and feedback to the coordination
team for continuous improvement of implementation.

Glades County purchased the 72- acre Hudson property in 2006 at a cost of$10,000 per
acre. In April 2006, the county contracted with AIM Engineering to complete the
boundary verification and topo survey to devise a plan to provide essential services to
businesses which locate in the Americas Gateway Logistics Center property which
surrounds the county compound. Construction of the Glades County Detention Center,
funded by a bond issue, but operating by the Glades County Sheriffs Office was
completed on site in 2007,offering new businesses onsite security. Glades County and its
private sector partners Lykes Bros. Inc. and A Duda& Sons lobbied for and secured a$5
million legislative appropriation the county to construct the new Leeds Silver Certified
Glades County Health Department, which opened in January 2011 and will provide
corporate health services to businesses locating at AGLC. In 2014, continuing the same
strategy, the county completed construction of the Emergency Operations Center, which
houses emergency management, fire and EMS, which will offer businesses locating in the
larger industrial complex reduced insurance rates via the proximity to fire and other
services.
Project Description While infrastructure to support the health department and EOC was included in those
appropriations, in 2014 Glades County, the fifth poorest county in the state of Florida,
provided $1.3 million in reserves and a $350,000 Florida Department of Environmental
Protection grant for sewer service to bring in water, sewer, electricity,telecommunications
services and completed a temporary entrance and stormwater systems to support
construction of the Glades County Regional Training Center, which will provide grant
funded training for new businesses locating in the Glades County Business Park and
AGLC. In 2015, construction of the first phase of the Training Center was completed.
Also in 2015, via a public private partnership with A Duda& Sons, the county secured a
$300,000 rural infrastructure fund feasibility grant from the Department of Economic
Opportunity to complete the necessary engineering to link the county property to
Americas Gateway Logistics Center,to serve the first tenant, a Love's Travel Stop,which
will invest $11 million in capex and employ 40 low to moderate income residents. In
October 2016,using a$1, 154,967 Community Development Block grant,work will begin
to extend water, sewer, electricity infrastructure to the entrance of AGLC. Moreover,
completion of that infrastructure, including paving of the entrance road to AGLC

Engineering and design are complete for extending the existing temporary road and
Timeline stormwater system through the business park to the travel center,to reconfigure the
entrance and construct a dogleg out onto US 27 to connect with a right out only exit from
the business park to a merge lane already constructed by FDOT.
By completing the permanent roadway and stormwater improvements linking the Glades
County Business and Commerce Park to AGLC,the frontage road allows students
attending the training center and employees of future businesses which site in the
commerce park the ability to access restaurants and other amenities planned in the
Benefits commercial frontage at AGLC,creating trip capture on site to help with traffic on US 27.
Similarly,construction of the dogleg connecting the US 27 exit from the business park to

additional storage and conveyance for stormwater to the Caloosahatchee River during
large storm events. Currently,residents experience flooding conditions due to the lack of
drainage infrastructure capacity. By implementing the proposed project,the upstream
Project Description watershed can pass through a system that will reduce nutrient loading prior to discharging
into the Caloosahatchee River downstream to the Gulf of Mexico near the beaches of
Sanibel/Captiva and Fort Myers Beach. Using current methodology,it is theoretically
estimated that the nutrient loading will be reduced by 76%Total Phosphorous and 144%
Total Nitrogen.
Timeline This is a SHOVEL READY project. All engineering and design work is complete and
permitting is in place.Construction time is 12-18 months.
Mitigate flood prone residential areas;reduce nutrient loading into the Caloosahatchee
River watershed area. This project is in the Caloosahatchee Watershed Protection Plan
Benefits and enjoys broad public support from area stakeholders. It has been identified in the
South Florida Water Management District's Strategic Plan as a specific project dating
back to 2006.

Our current fire station 31 is over 30 years old,part of the building was constructed on
someone else's property, and the fire district has outgrown the building. There are
currently only two apparatus bays and station quarters to accommodate only 5
responders. Currently there is one fire unit and a Collier County EMS ambulance
stationed there, with otherfare units parked outside in the weather and unsecured due to
no room in the building. We need to add vehicles and personnel to this station, however
Project Description we currently are no able to due to space. We are also looking at relocating the station due
to growth and improvement of response time to our highest call areas. This new facility
would also assist with crime reduction, as it would be registered as a "Safe Place"for
children to seek assistance and also would provide a safe haven for victims of crime to
seek refuge, as the front lobby will be open to the public with a direct phone line to
sheriffs office dispatch.A potential victim could enter the lobby, lock the door behind
them, and pick up a phone that will immediately connect to the 9-1-1 dispatcher.

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA PROMISE ZONE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Southwest Florida Promise Zone(SFPZ),which covers Glades,Hendry,and the Immokalee portion of
Collier counties,was designated by President Barack Obama in June 2016. The SFPZ is one of only four rural
areas within the country that have received this competitive designation since 2014. The designation was
received due to the SFPZ's high rates of poverty and unemployment(31.2%and 15.65%respectively),the
strength of community partnerships,and a strategic plan aimed at improving the quality of life and providing new
opportunities for residents.The goals of the SFPZ Strategic Plan center around creating jobs,enhancing economic
activity,improving educational opportunities,reducing crime,and improving community infrastructure.
The Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council(SWFRPC)is the lead entity for the PZ initiative.It has over
40 years of experience of bringing together diverse partners to accomplish common goals. Glades,Hendry,and
Collier Counties will serve as the Implementation Partners. The Southwest Florida Workforce Development
Board, Small Business Development Center,Immokalee Business Development Center,Immokalee Foundation
and the Southwest Florida Regional Human Trafficking Council were included in the initial application and are
partners in this initiative. Additional partners from the public,private,and non-profit sectors are essential to
achieving our goals and will be added as we move forward.
