Florida is starting to become
very serious about having back -up generators avaliable for this and future hurricane seasons.The governor passed a law that gas station owners must have a back up generator that can be moved from one station to another when there is a blackout so people have access to gasoline.
This is another example in the Miami Herald.
Power at Publix
Publix expects to eventually have full backup generators in many of its stores in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. These 10 Palm Beach County stores expected to have generators by June 1:
Abacoa Plaza, 5500 Military Trail, Jupiter
Chasewood Plaza, 6330 W. Indiantown Road, Jupiter
Mirasol Walk, 6251 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens
Crestwood Square, 11977 Southern Blvd., Royal Palm Beach
Lantana Shopping Center, 1589 W. Lantana Road, Lantana
Fountains of Boynton, 6627 Boynton Beach Blvd., suburban Boynton Beach
Mercado Real, 1001 S. Federal Highway, Boca Raton
Publix at The Acreage, 7050 Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road, Loxahatchee
Southdale Shopping Center, 828 Southern Blvd., West Palm Beach
Westwinds of Boca, 9846 Glades Road, suburban Boca Raton
Original story:
It won't be cheap, it won't be everywhere and it won't escape red tape, but Publix Supermarkets Inc. is stepping up with a $100 million plan to ensure its stores remain open and running on generators in the wake of a hurricane.
Stuart Mayor Carol Waxler is among those applauding the move. In the aftermath of a storm, she said, "Having a grocery store open is a community service."
All 146 Publix stores in Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties will get one of the 400 generators already bought and waiting to be installed. That's not the case with all Palm Beach County stores.
CHDT as most of you know not only sells generators,they import generators from China.
The CEO of chdt lives in dade county.Do you think it's possible that he might have connections in the community?
Does anyone remember last hurricane season when FEMA was investigated becuase they gave out contracts without the bidding process?
The rules were changed and the companies that were in the storm area were to be given contracts first,if they could meet the needs with the products that were needed.So we have a CEO living in Dade County ,with his business there and can import as many generators as are needed.
Does anyone think he has a shot at getting some of this business and contracts?
I would be very surprised if there isnt another PR tomorrow stating the expansion of sales of the generators.
Now that the tiles passed the tests from Dade County they can be sold thruout the US and in 3 weeks they will be able to be sold in Dade County as well.A note about the tiles.They do not leave China without being paid for first.So there is no debt for the company, nor is there any bad debt from contractors who order the tiles.
Please do your own DD before investing in any company.
