Collier names growth management chief

NAPLES — Collier County named engineer David Wilkison head of the growth management department.

Wilkison, a former principal with engineering firms Stantec and WilsonMiller in Naples, replaces Nick Casalanguida, who was promoted to deputy county manager in March.

“His fantastic credentials and previous work with the county make him an ideal choice for this assignment,” County Manager Leo Ochs says in a statement. “I will rely on David to lead our agency's efforts to develop and implement coordinated planning, regulation, construction and maintenance programs that will enhance the county's effectiveness and accountability.”
