The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") currently has a long term Lease

The BOCC is proud to support the Foundation in its efforts to bring grid tie power to the island of Pigeon
Key. Pigeon Key is one of the most visible and historically significant resources in Monroe County. The
installation of grid tie power is a tremendous undertaking allowing for the Foundation to maximize the 0
full potential of the Island for both our Florida Keys' visitors and residents. The project will allow for the
complete elimination of their current use of diesel generator power,thus improving our local environment
and the visitor's Island experience.
We encourage others to support this project as the Foundation continues its work preserving and
promoting Pigeon Key for all to enjoy far into the future.
