2 Southwest Florida Third Round Promise Zone Designee Lead Organization: Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council Population: 76,348 Poverty Rate: 31.20% Unemployment rate: 15.65% Key Partners: Glades, Hendry, and Collier Counties; Immokalee, FL community; Glades County, Hendry County and Immokalee Economic Development and Tourism Development Councils and Chambers of Commerce; Southwest Florida Workforce Development Board; Small Business Development Center; Immokalee Business Development Center; Immokalee Foundation; Southwest Florida Regional Human Trafficking Council; Glades, Hendry, and Collier School Districts June 2016 About the Southwest Florida Promise Zone The Southwest Florida Promise Zone is located in Glades County, Hendry County, and Immokalee Community in Collier County. Due to the high rates of poverty and unemployment, the region has developed a strategic plan that focuses on improving the quality of life. The plan is designed to provide new opportunities for residents by leveraging their young population, low cost of living, and abundance of developable land. The Southwest Florida Promise Zone has developed concrete strategies to train workers and fuel job growth, provide resources to help small businesses grow, develop markets for locally grown fresh food, promote eco-tourism, and improve educational opportunities in the community. Leadership and Goals The Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council is leading the Promise Zone initiative for the region. With partners across the local government and private sectors, the Council hopes to leverage the region s abundant natural resources and young, able population to make vast improvements throughout the Promise Zone. As the region struggles with a poverty rate over 30%, leaders are working to jumpstart economic activity in the region and improve safety and opportunities for residents. The primary goals of the Southwest Promise Zone include: Growing jobs by developing an Airglades Industrial Park, an Immokalee Airport, and An Americas Gateway Logistics & Manufacturing Training Center Creating eco-tourism attractions and supporting small businesses throughout the region with technical assistance and funding Preventing human trafficking by increasing law enforcement and educating at-risk youth through the Slave Free program Improving educational opportunities by expanding the Immokalee Readers Program, the Career Development program and the Post- Secondary and Career Success Programs of the Immokalee Foundation Upgrading water and wastewater systems, public transit, roads and streetlights throughout the region
3 SOUTHWEST FLORIDA PROMISE ZONE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Southwest Florida Promise Zone (SFPZ), which covers Glades, Hendry, and the Immokalee portion of Collier counties, was designated by President Barack Obama in June The SFPZ is one of only four rural areas within the country that have received this competitive designation since The designation was received due to the SFPZ s high rates of poverty and unemployment (31.2% and 15.65% respectively), the strength of community partnerships, and a strategic plan aimed at improving the quality of life and providing new opportunities for residents. The goals of the SFPZ Strategic Plan center around creating jobs, enhancing economic activity, improving educational opportunities, reducing crime, and improving community infrastructure. The Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council (SWFRPC) is the lead entity for the PZ initiative. It has over 40 years of experience of bringing together diverse partners to accomplish common goals. Glades, Hendry, and Collier Counties will serve as the Implementation Partners. The Southwest Florida Workforce Development Board, Small Business Development Center, Immokalee Business Development Center, Immokalee Foundation and the Southwest Florida Regional Human Trafficking Council were included in the initial application and are partners in this initiative. Additional partners from the public, private, and non-profit sectors are essential to achieving our goals and will be added as we move forward. GOALS SNAPSHOT Job Creation Attract new businesses Train residents for jobs and connect them with employers Enhance Economic Activity Provide resources to help small businesses form and grow Develop and market eco-tourism attractions Improve Eductional Opportunities Expand educational programs Expand career development programs Expand post-secondary and career success programs Reduce Crime- Human Trafficking And Drug Intervention Prevent recruitment of HT victims through education and events Reduce HT through education of professionals likely to interact with HT victims Expand drug and mental health treatment programs Improve Infrastructure Enhance and improve public infrastructure throughout the Promise Zone
