Part 7/8:
The 1960s marked a turning point for Collier County, as infrastructure improvements, including the relocation of the county seat to Naples and the growth of residential developments, transformed the landscape. Hurricanes challenged the resilience of local communities but also spurred recovery efforts that built a stronger foundation for future growth.
The transformation of Naples into a world-class destination, complete with luxurious accommodations and fine dining, and the development of Everglades City as an eco-tourism hub, illustrated the county's adaptability and entrepreneurial spirit.
