Naples Design District: decision to delivery
What Naples approved, what the public capital record shows, what moved, and what remains unresolved.
Bottom line
Naples has an adopted plan. The unresolved question is whether contracts, costs, property decisions and construction are moving on one accountable schedule.
Public money
Five figures with different meanings.
These figures are not added together because they represent different agreements, purchases and projects.
Streetscape design, permitting and bid-package award
Award, not construction cost
Additional stormwater design and permitting
Second amendment; separate incremental contract value
160–190 10th Street North purchase authorization
Council-approved purchase price; closing, title, development and demolition are separate
1st Avenue South public garage GMP
Related enabling parking capital; not a Design Walk cost
