Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purchase of Cortez School (dating back to 1912) in the historic fishing village of Cortez.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

Cortez has been selected as a participant in the WaterFronts Florida program which means that Cortez is an historical resource of statewide prominence.  The historic fishing village of Cortez is unique in that it has changed  relatively little over the years.  Although the historic aspects of the village have attracted state-wide attention, there is no public focal point in the village to facilitate access to the area and its resources.  The County will operate the site as a multi-purpose facility focused primarily on preserving the historic significance of the property and village.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Preservation of a unique historic resource of statewide importance; a link to "Old Florida."  Parking, handicapped accessible restroom facilities, environmental restoration and wetland habitat creation on grounds and surrounding property.
