Comment: Town of Big Cypress takes first step

<< Previous  
Located in the Rural Land Stewardship Area in eastern Collier County, developers have proposed a 3,600+ development in the heart of panther habitat called Big Cypress. Population estimates show that an additional 20,000 to 25,000 people would move to this very sensitive area.

The development poses water resource issues, and its currently proposed impact on the Florida panther will be considerable. Nearly all of the development is within the panther primary habitat zone, designated as essential habitat for retaining the endangered panther population.
