Audubon joined real estate developer Kitson & Partners, Florida Power & Light (FPL), World Wildlife Fund, and Sierra Club today to announce plans to build a solar-powered city on 17,000 acres at Babcock Ranch in Southwest Florida.
Audubon has supported the concept behind Babcock Ranch since day one because of Kitson & Partners’ dedication to conservation,” said Bob Perciasepe, Chief Operating Officer of National Audubon Society. “Kitson & Partners have taken on great challenges to preserve an uninterrupted portion of the Florida landscape, and demonstrated that Babcock Ranch will be able to function like no other modern city – in balance with the natural world around it.”
