The Live Local Act, a statewide bill focused on providing more affordable housing options to the local workforce, will officially go into effect July 1. The bill was created by Senate President Kathleen Passidomo and was signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in March. Lack of affordable housing in Collier County is an issue many residents call a crisis; local leaders have been spending months discussing how they think this bill has the potential to reshape the landscape of local workforce housing.
