New Businesses Coming to East Naples

It’s been a busy summer with so many people wanting to relocate here, more summer traffic than I can remember, but lots of good things are happening! Because of the hurricane, it seemed like the flowering trees didn’t want to bloom, but happily, and with all this rain, we now have gorgeous orange, yellow, lavender, white and red trees showing off their gorgeous color. It’s beautiful out there! We were without rain for a long time, but it is finally here.

* I know, I know, I’ve been talking about the traffic light that was to be installed at the entrance to Treviso Bay. Finally, last week the whole assembly was lighted and working well. I was amazed to see how much traffic came out of there at this time of year! I visibly see why that community worked so hard to get that traffic light approved, installed, and working. With a thousand homes in there, they really needed traffic controls. You can visibly see why they were so concerned. By the way, Treviso Bay is a lovely community with really nice people! I have a few friends in there who have even invited me to lunch around the pool. What a treat! We’re all so happy that you’ll be able to leave your community safely now. 

* Even though it’s summer and things move at a little slower pace, there are some really good things happening. For one thing, the Lamborghini Dealership is coming to our community right here in East Naples, and we will be happily welcoming them! They are joining the other outstanding automobile dealerships that have made the decision to move to our community. (Just to remind you that East Naples was named the County Seat in 1960 and has retained that title ever since). I’ve seen the pictures of what this new facility will look like, and it is magnificent. They are well on their way to completion! This is a good time to take a ride by the area and then come back to look at it when it is finished. Oh yeah, when you do, you’ll wonder what is that big building going up (being built) behind the dealership? It’s a five-story Hampton Inn! And as some of you know, we’ve really needed a Hampton Inn there. With the world’s largest Pickleball park located right in that area, people and athletes come from all over the USA and the world to see and play at the park, to spend time and to practice there. The athletes want to get the feel of that park and the courts. This park is what they see on TV, but some just want to see it in person. And who can blame them! Just another BIG THANKS to Terri and Chris for finding us and asking us to look at the idea, working with us, and from there it has become one of the success stories in Collier County. Parks and Rec were right there at the beginning, and we’re still on top of the world now! We never thought it would get this big, but the people running the show (Terri and Chris) REALLY knew what they were doing. What a lucky break for us that they came here in the first place, saw the area, and liked what they saw. Now we work with them every year! Who would have ever thought it would grow this big and would captivate the world?
