FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                                                               All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Park Site
                                                    Public Information Meeting Planned on Sept. 28
 
A public meeting is planned to obtain input on a potential All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Park. All interested parties are invited to attend and provide their ideas on criteria for a proposed future ATV Park site. It will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 28 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the University of Florida Extension Services, 14700 Immokalee Road, Naples.

Growth Management Division Deputy Administrator Nick Casalanguida will lead the discussion. There will be a short formal presentation followed by an opportunity for questions and input needed on where the potential park should be located, the size of the potential park and what type of facilities should be included.

In July, the Board of County Commissioners approved that staff move forward with public involvement and concept evaluations for an ATV Park. Funds have been set aside from a settlement with the South Florida Water Management District for the purpose of establishing a public ATV Park. This is the public's opportunity to have a say in where it is potentially going to be built as well as what amenities they would like to see included.

One or more members of the Board of County Commissioners may be in attendance at this public meeting.

there was a big turnout!, at least 100 people showed up. County officials had another dog and pony show right before election time OF COURSE!!!   trying to make it seem like they were really gonna address our LONG,OVERDUE,CRISIS in South Florida. we went through this back in 2004 and are no closer to solving this problem today!!!!    but Collier has 3 million dollars from a settlement with South Florida Water Management that they will never use for a ATV park.
South Florida has become the outlaw capital. 
When injustice becomes law rebellion becomes duty!!!!!!!!
Good luck to our county officials with trying to ticket and arrest 70,000+ registered off-road vehicles in South Florida!!!!
Typical rhetoric and B.S. yet we are no closer than we were in 2004!!! 
why am I not surprised!!!   Good luck Collier residences!!!!
