Community Partner Benefits

Community partners are companies that partner with Lakewood Ranch to add significant value to life in the community. In order to be selected as a community sponsor, a company must provide a necessary product or service to home buyers and owners, have an established and reputable name in their field and offer a unique benefit or incentive exclusive to Lakewood Ranch. Our community partners are Bright House Networks, General Electric and TECO Peoples Gas.

Bright House Networks provides Lakewood Ranch with its fiber optic infrastructure and delivers high quality Digital Cable, High Speed Internet, Digital Phone, DVR and HDTV service to residents. The company offers home buyers free installation and a month of free service and has included a dedicated Lakewood Ranch TV Channel in their line-up to provide community information 24 hours a day. Additionally, Bright House is an active supporter of community arts, charitable and service organizations and events. http://www.mybrighthouse.com

In addition to providing a free standard one-year service contract, General Electric works with selected builders to provide a free second year of service on all kitchen and laundry appliances. The company also makes a contribution to the Lakewood Ranch Community Fund for every appliance package purchased at Lakewood Ranch. http://www.ge.com

TECO offers all current and future residents the alternative of natural gas for all their appliances. In association with TECO Peoples Gas, Lakewood Ranch is the area's first “natural-gas-ready” community where every single-family home constructed includes four main gas appliance hook-ups to accommodate heating, clothes drying, cooking and hot water needs. http://www.peoplesgas.com
