Economic Development Advisory Board - Jun 9, 2026
A new large-scale incentive program targets transformational redevelopment along gateway corridors like Fairbanks, Aloma and Orange Avenues. Projects must be annexed into the city, meet minimum acreage, and be ad valorem taxable — the goal is making sure Winter Park captures the property taxes when development intensity comes to the corridor.
