WILDLIGHT, FL – August 31, 2017 – Today, Raydient Places
+ Properties and the University of Florida announced
their intent to join together to develop a national model
for healthier communities at Wildlight, the new master
planned community currently under development in
Nassau County north of Jacksonville. As part of the
agreement, the University of Florida and its academic
health center, UF Health, will construct health and
fitness facilities in Wildlight and spearhead programs and
services aimed at promoting healthier living throughout
the new community and the Northeast Florida region.
Earlier this year Wildlight’s developer, Raydient Places
+ Properties, sought out a dedicated strategic partner
with the capabilities and vision to create a new model
for community development that promotes better health
for the people who live, work and play there. “One of our
goals at Wildlight is to create a community that promotes
DOWNLOAD
healthier living, so we went looking for a partner with
broad and deep capabilities to bring the vision to life,” said
Chris Corr, President of Raydient. “That effort led us to the
University of Florida and UF Health, and we are thrilled to
welcome them to Wildlight.”
One of Wildlight’s key objectives is to create a community
where people can live, work and play in a dynamic
environment. An individual’s health and well-being —
which includes the mind, body, spirit and social aspects
of life — are essential elements to this goal. As Wildlight’s
strategic partner, the University of Florida will provide the
breadth of knowledge, talented faculty and resources to
ensure that healthy living is integrated into the very fabric
of the Wildlight community through health, education,
fitness and recreation programs; UF Health will ensure a
forward-looking approach to prevention, early detection
and health promotion. CLICK TO READ MORE.
