The Collier County Commission is preparing to vote on two key elements of a plan to build a $25-million center to address growing demand for mental health and addiction treatment in the region.
Commissioners will be asked at their May 25 meeting to sign off on five acres that will be donated to the county from the David Lawrence Center, the dominant provider of mental health services in the community, according to Scott Burgess, chief executive officer of the nonprofit organization.
The new complex will be built using local sales tax proceeds on the five-acre parcel that is immediately east of the David Lawrence campus off Golden Gate Parkway near Interstate 75.
