We are excited to announce that the American Planning Association Florida Chapter has recognized our project, Lake Wales Envisioned, with the 2024 Award of Excellence! From the press release: “The APA Florida Project Awards program provides the chapter the opportunity to recognize outstanding planning projects throughout the state at its annual Florida Planning Conference. The program provides APA Florida members with the chance to see and learn about development, conservation, government, or environmental projects, where exceptional planning has had a positive impact on the outcome.” The award was presented at a special ceremony during this month’s conference, along with the video above.
The critical mission for Lake Wales Envisioned was to bring people together as a community to protect and shape the future of their remarkable, historic place. Read more here.
Thank you to the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA Florida) for honoring us with this award and to all who took part in this colossal undertaking, including our colleagues at Kittelson Associates, Exum Associates, Inspire Placemaking, the City of Lake Wales, and our many sponsors and partners.
