Welcome back to our favorite spokescat whose new movie is opening in theaters this Memorial weekend. ITT Community Development Corporation signed an exclusive agreement with United Feature Syndicate Inc. and cartoonist Jim Davis in 1985. This gave them the right to use Garfield promotional material.

Back when ITT was promoting Palm Coast visitors were given tours on the trolley so they could see the new residential communities and model homes.
