RE: Pigeon Key Foundation, Inc.
To Whom It May Concern:
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") currently has a long term Lease
Agreement with the Pigeon Key Foundation,Inc. ("Foundation"),which was approved on April 17, 2019,
for an initial term of fifteen (15) years. The Lease term commenced on October 19, 2018, and terminates
on October 18, 2033, with an option to renew for an additional ten (10) years if the Foundation is in
compliance with the lease terms at that time.
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
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.
Sincer y,
M r Sylvia urphy
