Boat Ramp Near Isles of Capri Moves Forward

Good News for Boaters!  After years of trying to obtain permits to add additional parking to the 951/Collier Blvd. boat ramp access near Isles of Capri, the County has finally received the nod to move forward.  The county has worked with the Conservancy to protect the sensitive environment and mangroves in the area.  They hope to receive the final approval, which is the submerged land lease, shortly.  Once received they will put the project out to bid.  When complete, the area will consist of the two boat ramps (already in place) and 85 parking spaces for trucks and boat trailers.  Presently there are 19 parking spaces.  Completion should be within one year.
