Development to begin soon.

A new town planned for rural Collier County has reached a pivotal moment.

In late June, county commissioners quietly signed off on the new town that’s been years in the making.

The creation of the town, known as Big Cypress, appeared on the board’s summary agenda, reserved for noncontroversial matters.

One frustrated environmentalist spoke against the development before it came to a swift vote.

A town and two villages
The town will connect two new villages planned by Collier Enterprises, known as Rivergrass and Bellmar. It will replace the developer’s third approved village, Longwater, with the addition of roughly 544 acres to its borders.
