AutoNation invests in South Florida through community leadership and civic engagement. From affordable housing with Habitat for Humanity to the grand reopening of Huizenga Park, AutoNation supports initiatives that strengthen the region it calls home. By CBT News February 10, 2026 FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA (February 3, 2026) - AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN), one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States and a long-time South Florida corporate leader, demonstrated its ongoing commitment to the community through a week of hands-on engagement supporting affordable housing and investing in shared public spaces in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, AutoNation continually strives to invest in the community it calls home. Recently, AutoNation's Chief Executive Officer, Mike Manley, joined Habitat for Humanity of Broward's CEO Build, working alongside fellow executives to support affordable workforce housing for local families. AutoNation has partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Broward for more than 25 years, sponsoring six home builds and volunteering on many more. In the past year alone, AutoNation associates contributed more than 450 volunteer hours to help future homeowners and families transition from housing insecurity to homeownership. "Being part of this community extends beyond business. We dedicate our time and resources to help improve the lives of our neighbors," said Mike Manley, chief executive officer at AutoNation. "Whether we're helping families build a place to call home, investing in shared public spaces or supporting those in the community who suffer from cancer, our goal is to make a lasting, positive difference in the communities where our associates live and work." AutoNation's presence during the Huizenga Park grand reopening reflected the company's continued investment in downtown Fort Lauderdale. New River Landing, a gift from AutoNation, is one of the park's iconic outdoor rooms, offering elevated views of the New River and serving as a gathering space that connects the Riverwalk to the heart of the park. The reimagined 3.6-acre Huizenga Park, unveiled through a public-private-philanthropic partnership led by the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority and the Huizenga Park Foundation, now features expanded green space, new amenities, public art and year-round programming designed to foster connection, wellness and culture in the city's urban core. AutoNation joined a group of organizations founded or led by Wayne Huizenga, including the Florida Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Miami Marlins and Waste Management, in supporting the park that bears his name. The investment honors Huizenga's legacy of entrepreneurship, civic leadership and mentorship within South Florida's business community. Both AutoNation's support of affordable housing initiatives and its investment in shared public spaces highlight the company's commitment to corporate citizenship, which not only strengthens neighborhoods and supports individuals and families, but also contributes to the long-term vitality of downtown Fort Lauderdale.
