Construction During the 80's

During the early 80's renewed construction began to the southern part of Phase 1 and to Phase 2.
The below collections (from the Burr and Foy Families) of material document much of that activity.

The Burr collection

Richard Temple Burr has shared many documents from the CCC development years. His dad and mom lived here, building their home starting in 1982. His father was basically the financial Director believed in some capacity for the Don Freeman group. They acquired quite a few campground, construction companies, equipment companies furniture companies etc. and his father would computerize their accounting etc. He was involved with all of the financials at that time.

Joyce (Berndsen) Foy Collection

Joyce's parents, Ebert and Francis Berndsen, chose to build their home at 48 Seminole Path.
They witnessed the build up of CCC and the region of Seminole Path and the Gazebo. Joyce shared the below photos with us.

This group of photos shows the local development in the early years. The majority of the homes in this portion of "phase one" were constructed in 1981 1982 1983. These photos are of the location near the intersection of Seminole Path, Rabbit Trail and the road to the Gazebo. Click on the photos for enlarged views.

Rosemary Terrell Collection

"John and Lois Terrell moved to 27 Magnolia Lane permanently in 1985 (Deed was signed Apr 29, 1983). They both loved playing golf and lived there until their health started to fail in 2006 and both had passed by 2008. They certainly loved their little retirement home and were very active and went on many cruises that were organized through CCC. As their niece by marriage, I know they would be very happy to see how CCC has maintained the beautiful "Old Florida" golf course here. We all can all be very proud!"
