The Babcock Ranch Residential Association is now using CivicReady to send emergency alerts to our residents and businesses via text, voicemail and email.

In most cases, if you received this newsletter in your name, you are already signed up for email alerts, Please log in to verify and update your contact information. We recommend that you add your mobile telephone number to receive text alerts.

We strongly urge you to take advantage of this system to help protect you, your family and your property when severe weather or other emergency situations arise.

"CivicReady will be our go-to platform when we have urgent information to get out quickly," said Community Manager Luke Kenzik. "As we are in the beginning of hurricane season, we wanted to make sure we had this critical communication tool in place."

The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts on residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action to be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water orders, etc.

If you wish to subscribe to SMS text messages only, text your ZIP code to 38276. There is also a mobile app available. The app is not required to receive alerts. You can easily opt out of alerts at any time.

We recently welcomed three new members to the Lifestyle team at Babcock Ranch Residential Association. All three are employees of CCMC, which manages the community on behalf of the developer, Kitson & Partners.

Ally is a native of nearby Wauchula, and graduated two years ago from the Exercise Science program at Florida Gulf Coast University. She and her husband own a hobby farm, where they raise goats, chickens and quail. She enjoys boating and operates a small business that produces homemade products for home and skincare.

Frankenmuth, Mich., native Ryan Storm recently relocated to the area after a stint as a marketing analyst for a law firm, where he managed social media accounts. He graduated from Central Michigan University and enjoys golfing, boating and high-intensity gaming on Twitch. He also operates a small online selling business on Amazon.com.

Rental apartments are coming to Babcock Ranch. Milhaus, a national award-winning multifamily developer and management company, is building the town’s first apartment community.

Located at 17174 Curry Preserve Dr., Canopy will offer 373 studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes overlooking Lake Bullhorn with easy access to Founder’s Square, Crescent B Commons, parks, trails, lakes and amenities.

The project consists of nine apartment buildings and a clubhouse. Construction is already underway on the first three apartment buildings and clubhouse, which are estimated to be completed by mid-2023.

The splash pad at Founder's Square is closed for the next several days for unplanned maintenance work. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We expect to complete repairs by the end of next week.
