Winter Park Outlook

17th September, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm

In-depth conversation and commentary

Join the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce on September 17 for an in-depth conversation on the state of our community. The inaugural Winter Park Outlook luncheon presented by Orlando Health and Rollins College will feature local experts in the fields of government, business, health, real estate and education in a panel discussion moderated by Dick Batchelor at The Alfond Inn.
Unlike other update events, the panel will look ahead to what’s to come in our community, rather than recap news you’ve already heard. You can submit your questions for the panel at registration.

City Commission.

spaces. Also facilitating will be Dr. Norman Jacknis of Columbia
University, a senior fellow at the Intelligent Community Forum, a

to The Aspen Institute’s effort “Rising to the Challenge: Re-envisioning
Public Libraries.”

architectural character and vision for a new 21st century library and
civic center facility.

*Community Workshop 3: Community Findings & Direction*

Thursday, September 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Participants will review the results of the placemaking and building
appearance workshops, and view a 2-D conceptual site plan as well as 3-D

input. Attendees will be encouraged to give feedback to help adjust the
concepts so they most accurately reflect the wants and needs of the Winter
