Exciting News for Tampa Bay: “Plug-In Ready” Communities are on Our Way!

Interesting article from Columb:

The Tampa Bay area today joined other leading metropolitan areas developing electric vehicle “plug-in ready” communities, as it officially launched Project Get Ready Tampa Bay. The regional collaboration includes the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, local governments, the Rocky Mountain Institute, Progress Energy Florida, Tampa Electric and Florida Power & Light. The project, part of a national non-profit effort, kicked off at Tropicana Field with several business and civic leaders including St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster, Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard and Hillsborough County Commissioner Rose Ferlita. The kick-off featured plug-in electric hybrid cars and trucks including the Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius and Ford Escape.

“Tampa Bay is an important piece of this national program because of its large population, moderate density and mass transportation potential,” said Avera Wynne, planning director of the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council. “This project can build the framework for a large-scale roll-out of plug-in electric vehicles in the coming years.”

What does this mean for Tampa Bay? This is what will help not only promote energy efficiency and change our way of living, but it will keep the Tampa Bay area and Florida in the national and international arena as leading the energy efficiency movement!

Look for more talk of this at the 2nd Annual Tampa Bay Green Business Summit!

    Hi, Are you going to be publishing a follow-up page? My spouse and myself have used some time exploring over your web pages and interestingly you touched on something i was referring to just the other day with our accountant. We often find ourselves quarrelling about the littlest of points, isn’t it absurd?
