County to get at least 4,000 more homes

NAPLES — At least 32 residential developments have been approved in the Naples area in the past year, according to an analysis from Collier County Planning Commission Chairman Mark Strain.

The projects will bring an additional 4,182 new lots for sale — coming at a time when existing home inventory has been at high levels. Strain's presentation was part of the Naples Area Board of Realtors 2017 Economic Summit, “The New Future: A View from the Top.” The event, attended by more than 400 people, was held April 26 at the Hilton Naples.

Strain also says 76 new commercial developments were approved in Collier County in 2016, and 13 senior living facilities are in the planning stages, according to a statement.
