Welcome to Your Naples Update
Welcome to our Monday digest for October 5, 2026. We have gathered the latest updates from around Collier County and North Naples to help you stay informed while planning your next visit to The Strand.
Around Town and Local Government
Collier County officials have been busy with recent administrative updates. The Collier County Planning Commission held a hybrid meeting on October 1 to discuss ongoing development and public notices. Additionally, for those interested in local politics, incumbents retained their seats in the August primary, ensuring continuity in county leadership as we head into the final quarter of the year.
Beaches and Weather
Good news for travelers: while we are currently in the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, there are no immediate threats to Southwest Florida. According to WINK News, meteorologists are monitoring activity in the far northeastern Atlantic, but conditions remain clear and favorable for our area. It is a beautiful time of year to enjoy the North Naples coastline.
Community and Event News
Planning for future events is already underway in the region. There is news that the popular "Cars on 5th" event is looking to relocate to Bayshore Drive for its February 2027 show, pending final permit approvals.
