Gateway of Naples shopping center undergoing renovations ahead of rebranding
The Gateway of Naples shopping center will undergo major renovations over the next eight to 12 months before being rebranded as Center Pointe. The 60,000-square-foot commercial property on the northeast corner of U.S. 41 and Golden Gate Parkway was purchased for $29,250,000 by a local affiliate of Fareri Associates of Greenwich, Connecticut, in October 2023. A new standing seam metal roof was recently installed, and the shopping center received a new coat of paint. Additional modifications planned for the center’s common area include the enhancement of its landscaping, upgrading the parking lot and overhauling its main entrance with pavers. Two fountains and a new pylon sign will be installed, company officials said. The center’s largest tenants include Food & Thought organic market, Thoughtful Threads clothing store, Scan Design furniture store, Pure Skill Fitness center, Dorona Italian steakhouse and Panera Bread.
Naples Airport Authority recognized for education efforts
Naples Airport Authority’s Fly Safe, Fly Quiet program received a state award for educating and informing the public about its efforts to be a good neighbor and follow safety practices.

The FSFQ program focuses on a voluntary curfew aimed at reducing airport related noise during “quiet hours” from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. The authority’s leaderboard lists the quietest operators, A-Rated Operators, those that flew at least 50 times monthly based on three elements: voluntary nighttime curfew violations; arrival altitude; and aircraft noise Stage 3, which involves jets; and a 1,000-foot perimeter threshold for turbo and piston operators flying unnecessarily low while departing and arriving.
