BG Ocala Ranch Owner Bobby Genovese looks with optimism on the future of Ocala
while the putting finishing touches on his ranch’s most ambitious renovation ever.
Our designers and engineers
have taken inspiraon from the
neighboring World Equestrian
Center that is slated to be fully open next year. An unprecedented
milestone for Ocala, this 1,000 acre, indoor/outdoor,
world-class equestrian sports venue will be the United State’s
largest and feature state of the art amenies that can accommodate
numerous disciplines within the equine Industry.
When complete it will represent an unparalleled economic
boost for the region.
But, as bright a future as this signals, we are living through
one of the most trying mes in modern history that is compelling
us to face this challenge with intelligence, compassion
and faith.
And unl the end of this pandemic we must connue to support
one another, stay strong and safe, and never lose hope.
That, I believe, is our greatest strength.
NNever before in my lifeme has the world experienced a
more significant crisis than the one we are facing now —
especially with this scale and breadth. As I write this,
thousands of people have died — a number that, sadly,
grows higher each day — as doctors aempt to treat the
sick and dying while sciensts race to find a cure.
I want to give personal thanks to those doctors and
nurses, caregivers and first responders — people
working on the front lines and pung their lives at
risk every day to help others — and sciensts and researchers
working around the clock to find a cure. All
of their efforts cannot be celebrated enough. I urge
everyone to support their local community in any
way they can.
I am also moved by the many acts of altruism and generosity
shown by our colleagues and neighbors throughout every sector
of the economy. When people unite in a common cause,
great things can happen — reminding me of the power that
we each possess to affect great change.
On the business front, companies both large and small, have
closed their doors to stem the de of this worldwide pandemic.
Hardly an industry has been le untouched. The need to
persevere through these difficult days has never been greater
— to persevere with the knowledge that we will emerge
stronger than before.
Within our BG Capital Group family of companies we are
working hard to support team members by diversifying posi-
ons to preserve as many jobs as possible unl the all-clear
has sounded.
At our BG Ocala Ranch we’ve moved steadily forward with our
most ambious renovaon ever, giving new life to our Great
House, guest coages, Farm House and equestrian facilies.
We’re excited to welcome the next generaon of guests and
look forward to a terrific season.
