About the District

On January 10, 2025, the Eagle Creek Community Development District (established on March 29, 2023 by the Board of County Commissioners of Charlotte County, Florida, Ordinance No. 2023-012 as an alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements in planned communities) filed a petition to amend the boundaries and change the name to Firelight Community Development District, pursuant to the Board of County Commissioners of Charlotte County, Florida, Ordinance Number 2025-002 which became effective on February 26, 2025.

Firelight CDD encompasses an area of approximately 459.01 acres entirely within Charlotte County, Florida. The land within the District is generally located southeast of Burnt Store Road and south of Zemel Road. Firelight CDD expects to plan establish, acquire, construct or reconstruct, enlarge or extend, equip, operate, and maintain additional systems and facilities.

A Community Development District (CDD) provides the 'solution' to Florida's need to provide valuable community infrastructure generated by growth, ultimately without overburdening other governments and their taxpaying residents. CDDs 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.
