AVON PARK - "South Florida has the potential to become a renewable energy belt," said Dan Murphy, director, Highlands County Economic Development Commission, during the "Green Revolution, Green Jobs, Green Service Learning" day institute on Nov. 5. "It would sate the dire need for investment, job creation, and economic development. There is plentiful land, many potential third-party investors, a highly adaptive workforce, and an evolving transmission grid that makes it the ideal location."
Murphy joined Dr. Kevin Cooper, Indian River State College Banner Center for Energy, and Dr. John Alleyne, Highlands County, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agriculture Services (UF/IFAS) Agricultural Extension, for the South Florida Community College Honors Program's Day institute. The program provided insight on renewable energy and the impact it will have on local jobs.
