YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTucked into a corner of Southwest Florida about a halfhour from Fort Myers, Babcock Ranch is what developer Syd Kitson calls the most sustainable new community in America and the first solarpowered town in the country. Babcock Ranch started when Kitson, a former NFL player for the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, purchased the 91,000acre ranch in 2006. Shortly after, he sold 73,000 acres of the ranch to the state of Florida to be put into preservation, with plans to build his town on the remaining 18,000 acres. What followed was an eightyearlong slog of working through red tape in order to get the permits to build the first 350,000panel solar field to power the future town.» Subscribe to NBC News
