This community is a little too commercial for my tastes, but the fact that that investors have jumped aboard such an ambitious eco-project is encouraging. ~ Noa

 

Raising the initiative of a sustainable, environmentally sensitive, green community to new heights, Babcock Ranch is the first city planned to be powered by the sun, with the majority of its electric needs generated from the largest on-site solar photovoltaic energy facility powering any city on earth.  By consuming less KW hours than the solar facilities located on the property will produce, Babcock Ranch will become the first city in the world powered by clean, renewable solar energy.

Located near Fort Myers, in beautiful Charlotte County, just minutes from I-75 and the Southwest Florida International Airport, Babcock Ranch is destined to become America’s most talked-about new city.  A place where neighbors of all backgrounds, ages and incomes can come together to work, to learn, to shop, to play – and to savor life.
