At the Greater Naples Chamber, access to attainable workforce housing has remained a top public policy priority for more than a decade. That is why the Chamber enthusiastically supports Project Gateway, a proposed 36-home community planned along Golden Gate Parkway.
Developed by B2R2O and the Collier County Community Land Trust, Project Gateway offers a practical, locally driven approach to attainable housing. Its structured rent-to-own model creates a clear pathway to homeownership for the workforce that keeps our community running. Future residents - including teachers, nurses, first responders and other essential professionals - will have the opportunity to rent a newly built townhome at an affordable rate, build savings and financial stability, then transitioning to ownership, all while remaining in the same home.
As employers, business and community leaders, you play an important role in ensuring that our workforce can live in the community they serve. Projects like this support talent recruitment and retention, reduce commute times and contribute to a more resilient economy, especially for the missing middle that is often priced out of traditional housing options.
The Greater Naples Chamber encourages members, business leaders and Leadership Collier alumni to make their voice heard. Send a letter of support today to tell the Collier Board of County Commissioners to support innovative housing solutions that strengthen our community.
