Ave Maria, FL. (September 25, 2017) – Homeowners, businesses and students in Ave Maria saw their town developer spring into action during the days leading up to and immediately following Hurricane Irma. Ave Maria Development and the Stewardship District spent days preparing the town prior to the storm’s impending arrival ensuring wastewater service was uninterrupted, and residents were informed of hurricane safety procedures. Residents never lost water service nor were they placed under boil water notice.
After the storm, home builders CC Homes, Del Webb, and Pulte Homes worked swiftly to clean up neighborhoods and offered homeowners assistance. Ave Maria Development and the Stewardship District quickly removed landscaping debris from the town center and roadways. Ave Maria Utility Company provided the ultimate in comfort— clean, running water to all customers in Ave Maria. Power was restored by LCEC within just a few days.
“Our teams were out in full force and I could not be more proud of the flawless execution of the hurricane preparedness plan and post-storm recovery,” stated Blake Gable, CEO of Barron Collier Companies, the developer of Ave Maria. “By quickly implementing our hurricane plan we were able to keep our residents and business owners safe and comfortable.”
