Jim Coletta on job creation in Collier County

Jim will continue to lead the fight to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses here in Collier County. Jim fought to cut impact fees by 40%, worked diligently with companies like Arthrex to make sure they not only stay in Collier County but expand their operations. As Commissioner, Jim is leading the charge to move online much of the business permitting, licensing and other county, making it easier and less expensive for business. Business owners must be able to spend more time in commerce and less time dealing with county government.

We need industry, business in Collier County that surges forward into the 21st Century, is not affected by seasonal changes, will include high-paying jobs, is green and high-tech. We need businesses Collier County residents will support and of which they can be proud.

Jim Coletta believes in government that is affordable.

You don’t have to look far to see the impact a tough economy is having on the folks in Collier County. As you and I take a hard look at our household budgets and spending habits, it is clear to me that we can expect no less from County Government.

Jim Coletta believes government should be accountable.

Affordable, well-managed government has always been part of Jim’s commitment to the citizens of Collier County. The best way to deliver a government that is accountable to the people is to demand transparency at all levels of county government. The taxpayers of Collier County deserve respect and more importantly, they have the right to demand that tax dollars are spent wisely and efficiently.

As your Commissioner, Jim Coletta will continue the fight for:

  • Job growth and economic expansion
  • Lower taxes for working families and retirees
  • Tighter controls on county spending
  • Honest, open and accountable government
