Cranewoods Development President Andrew Howe was honored by the Humane Society as the first Florida real estate developer to forgo destruction of gopher tortoises in favor of a new community relocation policy to protect the threatened species on it’s oceanfront home project site in Ponce Inlet, Florida.

Ponce Inlet, FL (PRWEB) December 1, 2007 — Prospects are better for future generations of the Florida gopher tortoise, a threatened species facing the risk of extinction, thanks to the actions of Cranewoods Development, the first Florida real estate developer to abandon the State required “pay-and-bury” permit, and instead opt to use the new community relocation policy.

Florida state regulations in force at the time Cranewoods’ Florida luxury oceanfront home project, The Cottages at Ponce Inlet, began construction, required developers to obtain “pay-and-bury” permits that allowed gopher tortoises to be crushed and buried alive. Cranewoods chose to make an additional investment in saving the threatened species.

Using the new relocation program, project builder HCM Construction worked with community volunteers and the Humane Society Of The United States to relocate the tortoises to Nokuse Plantation, a 50,000-acre conservation wilderness. The tortoises saved at The Cottages of Ponce Inlet site, validated the feasibility of the new program by not only acclimating, but in the surest sign of success by reproducing a new generation of gopher tortoises.

Ponce Inlet recently celebrated when a marker was unveiled by the town at the South Turn of the beach race course where the first NASCAR-sanctioned race was held in 1948 — a ceremony supported by Andrew Howe, president of the Florida real estate developer Cranewoods Development.

Ponce Inlet, Fla. (PRWEB) November 29, 2007 — Andrew Howe, president of Florida real estate development company Cranewoods Development recently helped Ponce Inlet commemorate NASCAR’s untamed beach-racing era of the 1940s and its pioneering drivers when the town unveiled a historic marker at the site of the famed beach course South Turn. Drivers started their harrowing drive up Ponce Inlet beach from this spot, with the Atlantic Ocean as the right boundary and the dunes of Ponce Inlet as the left. 

Long before the days of restrictor plates and roof flaps, beach racing here was the scene of spectacular crashes, with hoods flying open mid-race and drivers blinded by salt spray and sand. The course was the scene of some of racing’s greatest images and wildest rides until the opening of The Daytona International Speedway in 1958. More than 50 years later, the South Turn is the more peaceful home to a luxury Florida oceanfront home development, which is under construction and overlooks the historic turn. Several legendary veterans of the course attended the ceremony, recounting hazards of beach racing, spectacular crashes, dodging seagulls and the colorful drivers who wrote the first chapters of NASCAR history.
