About the CDD

The Fronterra Community Development District (“District”) was formed in 2016 by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (District Formation Ordinance).  The District was formed to provide infrastructure and services to the Fronterra community.  The District’s main powers are to plan, finance, construct, operate and maintain the community-wide infrastructure and services specifically for the benefit of its residents.

The District encompasses 33.03 acres within the Fronterra community (District Map) located on Radio Road just west of Collier Boulevard (CR 951) in Naples (Collier County), Florida.

A District provides the “solution” to Florida’s need to provide valuable community infrastructure generated by growth, ultimately without overburdening other governments and their taxpaying residents. Community Development Districts represent a major advancement in Florida’s effort to manage its growth effectively and efficiently. This allows a community to establish higher construction standards, meanwhile providing a long-term solution to the operation and maintenance of the community’s facilities.

Community Development District Organization

The Fronterra Community Development District (the “District”) is organized like other local governments in Florida, in that the legislative body is composed of a five- member board known as the Board of Supervisors (the “Board”). The Board establishes the policy of the District in accordance with Florida law. The Board, by law, must hire a District Manager and District Counsel. Staff members operate utilizing the same formalities as a County Administrator and County Attorney. The Board, through review of advertised Requests for Qualifications, ranks and selects a District Engineer to perform the engineering needs of the District. The District staff administers the operations of the District and implements the Board’s policies and contracts.

District Administration

The District Manager’s responsibilities include:

  • Preparation and submittal of a proposed operations and maintenance (O&M) budgets for Board of Supervisors review and action.
  • Preparation of contract specifications for District operations, including community landscape appearance, waterway management, street lighting and facilities maintenance.
  • File all required forms and documents with state and local agencies.
  • Attend all Board of Supervisor meetings.
  • Implement the policies of the Board of Supervisors.
  • Additional duties as directed by the Board of Supervisors.
