On our site you’ll find knowledge and resources necessary for exploring some of the Southwest Florida real estate markets – the ones that I concentrate on. You can learn about other cities along the Gulf coast and what they offer by doing some searches on the web. You may want to investigate Cape Coral, Ft. Myers, and east Naples. Then move north to Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Sarasota and even St. Petersburg.

Groundbreaking on Thursday, Jan. 7, 2010 marked the beginning of a major Everglades restoration project at the Picayune Strand in Collier County. These 55,000 acres, originally destined to be yet another housing development, will be returned to nature as part of a joint effort by the South Florida Water Management District and the Army Corps of Engineers. The project at Picayune Strand is part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan initiated ten years ago. U. S. Senator Bill Nelson, D-Orlando spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony, saying “Picayune Strand is going to be transformed from a raped and scraped housing development that had been hacked into plats to prime habitat for panthers and other endangered species.”
A $53 million contract was awarded in November to Harry Pepper and Associates to build a pump station, plug 13.5 miles of canals, and remove 95 miles of roads at the failed development in southern Collier County. A hefty portion of the cost will be paid from federal stimulus funds. The total cost of the project to return the Strand to wilderness could be $435 million. (Estimates for repairing the Everglades as a whole run as high as $10 billion.) Over the past thirty years, The Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Department of the Interior have bought land from 17,000 property owners, at a cost of more than $150 million.
Instead of canals draining wetlands, fresh water flowing into downstream estuaries, and roads disrupting natural water flow, the Picayune Strand will become a watershed flowway. It will be decades before all of the positive effects are accomplished, but some improvements will be seen quickly. The Strand is almost surrounded by public land: refuges, preserves, state parks and a research reserve, so it is a critical piece of the Everglades. This project will include removal of exotic plants that crowd out natives and will also restore significant animal and bird habitat. A Fort Myers News Press editorial says that Everglades restoration shows we sometimes have the wisdom to admit our mistakes and make amends.
