1000 Friends of Florida Joins Forces with the Florida Keys ROGO Coalition

Monroe County, FL - 1000 Friends of Florida, the state's leading not-for-profit smart growth advocacy organization, has officially joined the Florida Keys ROGO Coalition. This powerful
partnership strengthens the Coalition's efforts to ensure that growth in the Keys is carefully managed through a transparent, data-driven process and prioritizes citizen safety, quality of life,
and the natural beauty of the area.

Advocating for smart growth policies since 1986, 1000 Friends of Florida brings a wealth of expertise that will bolster the Coalition's mission and help secure a sustainable future for the
Keys. The Coalition, now representing more than 22 organizations and thousands of citizens, continues to grow as community and statewide partners rally together to protect our natural resources, fragile ecosystems, and unique way of life in the Florida Keys.

"1000 Friends of Florida's commitment to smart planning aligns seamlessly with the Florida Keys ROGO Coalition's mission to protect the Keys," said Paul Owens, President of 1000 Friends of Florida. "Working together, we are well positioned to advocate for development decisions that respect Monroe County's carrying capacity and preserve the unique environment and quality of life that makes the Florida Keys so special and a natural asset of statewide significance."

The Coalition's recently launched petition has garnered over 1,250 signatures to date, underscoring the local community's overwhelming support for a transparent data-driven process
around new ROGOs. Together with 1000 Friends of Florida, the Coalition will continue pushing for decision making at all levels of government that prioritizes the Florida Keys' environmental
health and resiliency. To learn more about 1000 Friends of Florida visit www.1000fof.org and visit www.FKRC.org to sign the petition, make a contribution and join our mailing list.
