SHORELINE STABILIZATION IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM
General Provisions
The Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) created the Shoreline
Stabilization Improvement Grant Program to provide financial assistance to residential and
commercial property owners in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area by offering
financial assistance for shoreline stabilization (rip-rap, bulkhead or seawall) improvement
projects. Improvements must be along one or more sides of the deeded property. All
improvements must meet the criteria listed below as well as the current requirements of the land
development code, building code, construction inspections and permits, any applicable zoning
overlays, and permits from US Army Corp of Engineers, Florida Department of Environmental
Protection, and Collier County.
The CRA is funded by Tax Increment Financing (TIF), a capture of Collier County's property
taxes above the year 2000 property tax value. TIF is a unique tool that CRAs can use to leverage
public funds and to promote private sector activity on the shoreline:
· The Grant is a "limited" two (2) year program funded in fiscal years 2008 & 2009
budgets. All approved applicants will have twelve (12) months to complete their project
from the date of Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency approval.
· For residential and commercial properties within the project boundary, the CRA will
provide up to 50% but not to exceed $5,000.00 of the cost of installation and/ or
maintenance of "RIP RAP," bulkheads and seawalls on subject property.
The funding awarded will be leveraged by the personal financial contribution made by each
applicant/property owner as well as the extent of improvements to be made. All applications will
include two written proposals from qualified contractors to complete the improvements, and all
required permits as required by Corps of Engineers (COE), Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) and Collier County.
All proposed work must be approved before beginning any work. Grant funding is not
retroactive. All work must be completed within one year of approval by eRA. Applicants are
required to request a meeting with staff prior to submittal of application.
All shoreline work to be completed under this program must be:
· Reviewed and recommended for approval by the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Local
Advisory Board,
· Pre-approved by any applicable county departments that would normally review such
improvements, and
· Pre-approved by the CRA Board.
Eligibility: All property owners with parcels within the project area are eligible for grant funds
for installation and/or maintenance of "RIP RAP," bulkheads and seawalls. Properties must be
within the Haldeman Creek MSTU boundary and also within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle
CRA boundary and abutting tidal canals including Haldeman Creek and its tributaries. See
attached project area map. Excluded areas are lakes, ponds, water retention areas, swales and
drainage ditches.
