1st phase) To design and build 16-18 workforce house units on the east property as per site plan.

2nd plan) To design and build approximately 33 to 40 (or as many as permissible by code) affordable housing / employee housing units on the two listed properties as per site plan. There will also may be 6 market rate townhouses included in the total units built.

2) To redesign and rebuild the existing SkeeterS marine building with a new store front, consisting of four separate business areas.

1. It is also proposed to change the retail marine sales and service into a new non-profit marine vocational training school where the students (of all ages) actually do the repair on a customers boat, engine, etc. under the 100% supervision of a certified marine technician. The student will also be trained on every facet of their specific, at hand job, including, parts, pricing, billing and customer relations.

This will provide, upon completion of the students training course, an unparalleled working knowledge of today's working marine trade. Although there are several marine training schools in existence today, none can be found that accomplish the goal of complete student training that would allow an employer to hire a student that could possibly, make he or she money the day they start to work.

Also there will be four or more employee apartments on the upper floor of the retail / school building that may allow, as any of the other site units, housing for students.

The project is expected to move forward upon Monroe County’s issuance of the permits with completion in approx 12-14 months.

This project is and will remain top priority so we may start the Big Pine Key area’s recovery process of acquiring and retaining workforce workers and their families.
