Immokalee is designated a Foreign Entrepreneurial Investment Zone by the Florida
Department of Labor and Employment Security. This designation, a program referred
to by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) as an EB-5 Immigrant
Investor Visa, allows a foreign business owner who is seeking permanent U.S.
residency the opportunity to invest $500,000 in capital over a two-year period
in a new or existing business within the Immokalee area. Eligibility is also extended
to the investor's spouse and all unmarried children under age 21. The investor must
actively direct and/or manage the business and must create or retain at least 10 full-time
jobs within the two-year period. A foreign investor can also acquire a failing or troubled
business under this program, as long as the acquisition maintains the same employment
level for two years.
