In July 2019, Collier County purchased the Golden Gate Golf Course, located at the intersection of Collier Boulevard and Golden Gate Parkway, from its owners for $29.1 million.
Over the last few years, County Commissioners proposed projects to include the development of a veterans nursing home, affordable housing, a redesigned golf course and a golfing entertainment center with an associated nonprofit golfing program.
Since the government purchased the land, it has become non-taxable property. While the intended uses noted do raise some advantages, they are also unlikely to generate a significant increase in the tax base.
