Community: Winter Garden

Parade, the musical about the lynching that reawakened the KKK, gets a showing in a former Klan stronghold.

Met with fierce community opposition, school officials say they’re open to finding a new location.

The $5M property on W. Colonial is meant to replace Orange Technical College as the new site for school bus depot.

“You just don’t put that in the center of someone’s neighborhood,” says Chloe Johnson-Brunson of the community advocacy group One Winter Garden.

Annexation will be on the Jan. 27 city commission agenda, says City Manager Jon Williams.

The decision was driven by the omicron variant, says City Manager Jon Williams.

The change was instituted after community outrage over Riegl USA's helipad nearly being green-lit without public input.

Two seats and the mayor’s gavel will be decided in March 8 election.

Winter Garden city officials forgot to get buy-in from residents of three communities about the helipad that Riegl USA proposed to build near their homes before they put it on the city commission agenda for votes in October and November. The helipad is now on hold.

Company president says they are evaluating other locations while city planners take heat for keeping helipad quiet.
