The Rivers Edge Community Development District is a local, special purpose government entity authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended, and created by Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission Rule 42FFF – 1.002, Florida Administrative Code. A 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. Community Development Districts represent a major advancement in Florida’s effort to manage its growth effectively and efficiently. This allows a developer to establish higher construction standards, meanwhile providing a long-term solution to the operation and maintenance of the community’s facilities.
