East Winter Garden
In July 2017, the City of Winter Garden and the City's Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) teamed with town planning firm Dover, Kohl & Partners to work with the community and develop a vision for the future of East Winter Garden. The East Winter Garden Plan reflects the City of Winter Garden’s desire to revitalize this historic neighborhood and restore its community fabric through good design and strategic redevelopment and infill projects. Located on Lake Apopka about 20 minutes west of Orlando, Winter Garden is a former citrus town established in 1903 that is home to over 40,000 residents. The historic downtown, listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, is a favorite destination for West Orange residents and users of the award-winning West Orange Trail.
