Ave Maria, a Catholic-inspired community in a remote area of southwest Florida, and the infrastructure that supports its founders’ utopian vision. Tom Monaghan, who spent half his childhood in a Catholic orphanage, built Domino’s Pizza into a thriving corporation; after reading C.S. Lewis’s warnings against pride he divested himself of many possessions to focus on “getting as many people into heaven as possible”. Denied zoning in Michigan for a college campus with a 25-storey crucifix, he accepted nearly 1,000 acres from the developer Barron Collier Companies to build Ave Maria University and a speculative town around it, made possible by legislation pushed by Governor Jeb Bush. The town continues to grow slowly, but will most likely never meet its founders’ expectations.
