A lack of community space in western Immokalee prompted Rural Neighborhoods to seek funding for its Esperanza Community Center. Collier County provided $400,000 in CDBG funds toward the $1.2 million project. The new structure, to be located in front of the new Casa Amigos apartments, will provide meeting space, office space for non-profits, and resources for residents seeking housing in the community. Construction is scheduled to start this summer with completion expected in mid-2023.
