At the May 28 Board of County Commissioners Meeting, the agreement for the sale and purchase of the 2,247+/- acres of property at Williams Reserve at Lake Trafford, Immokalee, was approved with all commissioners in favor.
Originally, the Sellers had the right to rescind the agreement if the Board approved a purchase price lower than $23,000,000. However, the Board and County were able to negotiate a final price of $20,770,000, saving taxpayers nearly $2.3 million.
Possible uses have been identified, including conservation, affordable and workforce housing, parks and recreation, transportation infrastructure, stormwater management, and economic development.
