Foundation appoints Executive Director to head up South Florida Region
October 27, 2008 - Longwood, Florida The Community Greenhouse Foundation has announced the appointment of Mr. Gabriel Solomon as the Executive Director for the South Florida region.
Program expansion particularly the Foundations’ “Green Housing Programs” in South Florida has required a designated local leader to manage and facilitate the movement to Sustainable Energy Efficient housing for the consumer.
“The combination of municipalities interested in our Retro-housing program on the national level from Pennsylvania, Arizona and Indiana and the already strong presence in the South Florida market dictated that we bring someone on to lead the programs in Florida”, said Richard Evans, CEO Community Greenhouse Foundation.
“Our housing programs fit perfectly with the funds being released through HUD’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) and provide the municipalities the vehicle to address some of the critical issues related to foreclosures and energy use reduction in homes for the future. Gabe has been leading the charge on the private sector side and we are thrilled to have him as one of our leaders in Florida,” added Mr. Evans.
Mr. Solomon is owner and founder of Eco Green Development, an environmental based business support company who provides consulting, financing, and residential solar systems. Mr. Solomon over the past two years has been called on for guest speaking appearances throughout Broward and Miami-Dade due to his expertise. He also has conducted various workshops and seminars for real estate investors as well as environmental based businesses on the financial benefits of sustainability and exciting green building projects. Practically a South Florida native, Mr. Solomon has lived in Coral Springs and Boca Raton for almost 30 years, attended Florida State University, and Santé Fe Community College getting his degree in business management and finance. Gabe is married, has a 19 month old son, a 6 year old son, and currently resides in Coral Springs, FL.
The “Greening of America’s House Stock” program is a pro-active economic stimulus program that has been developed due to the current economic position of America. Never in our countries history has energy, housing and the environment been seen as critical issues at the same time. This program was developed as a pro-active vehicle to move the country toward a more sustainable economy and renewable growth cycle. The program provides municipalities, consumers, financial institutions and manufactures a “one source” vehicle to make these foreclosed properties energy efficient.
