Trucks have started rolling into a massive construction site along Corkscrew Road in Lee County. The project, known as Kingston, is poised to become a significant development in the area.<\/p>\n
“It’s been a collaborative effort since the very beginning with the Lee County leaders and officials and commissioners,” said Nick Cameratta, partner and COO of Cameratta Companies.<\/p>\n
The Kingston development is a master-plan community that will feature multiple neighborhoods. Kingston South is the first to break ground, with the ceremony scheduled to take place on Thursday.<\/p>\n
“And the project itself will be the best project anyone’s ever seen,” said Cameratta.<\/p>\n
The county’s growth has been evident since the COVID-19 pandemic, with more people moving to the area each year.<\/p>\n
“Ever since COVID, we continue to see people move here year in, year out,” said Cecil Pendergrass, vice chairman of the Lee County Commission.<\/p>\n
The development spans thousands of acres, encompassing numerous homes and commercial amenities. Significantly, half of the land will be restored to create wildlife habitats and designated preserves.<\/p>\n
“The restoration efforts that we put into our community will be millions and millions of trees and plants that will be installed,” said Cameratta. “We will leave this place a much better place than you’ve ever seen it when it comes to restoration. It also helps support water quality.”<\/p>\n
Pendergrass emphasized the project’s commitment to sustainability, noting that the developer will invest more than $100 million in environmental restoration without burdening taxpayers.<\/p>\n
“The developer will be paying over $100 million for environmental restoration that’s free to the taxpayers. We’re not going to pay for that,” said Pendergrass.<\/p>\n
Homes in the Kingston development are expected to start construction by March of next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trucks have started rolling into a massive construction site along Corkscrew Road in Lee County.
