EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the annual Agreement between
Economic Incubators, Inc. and the Board of County Commissioners in continued support of the
established public-private partnership designed to advance the County’s economic development
efforts.
OBJECTIVE: To approve the Fiscal Year 2019 Agreement between Collier County, Florida and
Economic Incubators, Inc. (“EII”).
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 10, 2013, Agenda Item 11.C, the Board approved the Office of
Business & Economic Development’s FY14 Business Plan including a goal of developing a Business
Accelerator Project. Policy direction from the November 26, 2013 and December 10, 2013 Board
meetings culminated in the May 13, 2014 approval of the Collier County Innovation Accelerator Business
Plan including authorizing its implementation. On November 18, 2014, Agenda Item 11.C, the Board
approved the first agreement between the County and EII designating EII as the Administrative Entity for
the Collier County Soft Landing Accelerator Development Strategy.
This Agreement continues operational funding support at a reduced level for the Naples Accelerator and
the Florida Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee as outlined in the updated Collier County Innovation
Accelerator Business Plan submitted by EII. A highly valuable function of the Florida Culinary
Accelerator @ Immokalee is the dedication of laboratory space for the University of Florida staffed and
operated food science research, development and testing facility. On September 13, 2018, an
administrative MOU was developed and agreed to with Florida Gulf Coast University, Hodges
University, and Florida SouthWestern State College to expand on the County’s regional partnership with
other state and local universities at the Naples Accelerator. Leveraging this partnership for mentoring and
marketing opportunities will be an important focus for FY 19 operations.
A previously Board approved office space rental agreement for the Naples Accelerator is included in the
$600,000 budget appropriation. County staff is facilitating discussions with the land owner regarding
efforts to update zoning requirements in the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Plan. The Florida
Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee opened in FY 18 and will continue to expand programming in that
location.
Collier County’s approach to economic diversification seeks to leverage public private partnerships with
specialized missions for new business attraction, retention of valued existing businesses a nd acceleration
of new local business startups and direct foreign investment. The mission of the Accelerator project
fulfills the public purpose of forwarding the Board of County Commissioner’s strategic goal of economic
diversity.
FISCAL IMPACT: This Agreement provides County funding of up to Six Hundred Thousand Dollars
($600,000) for reimbursement of personnel, minor capital and operating expenses for both facilities in FY
19. Sufficient budget is appropriated in Economic Development Fund (007) to support this agreement in
furtherance of the updated Collier County Innovation Accelerator Business Plan.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic
Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan which states: “Collier County will support
programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the
expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County’s economic base.”
