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.

Winter Park residents on the specific location, appearance and design of
the proposed new Winter Park Public Library and civic center facility.

Workshop attendees will explore and help create placemaking possibilities
that carefully integrate the new library/civic center within the northern

creating public places that foster great communities, parks and civic
spaces. Also facilitating will be Dr. Norman Jacknis of Columbia
University, a senior fellow at the Intelligent Community Forum, a
nationally recognized expert in the future of libraries, and a key advisor
to The Aspen Institute’s effort “Rising to the Challenge: Re-envisioning
Public Libraries.”

*Community Workshop 2: Building Design Possibilities*

Sunday, August 23, from 1 to 3 p.m.

*Rachael D. Murrah Civic Center, 1050 W. Morse Blvd.*

Participants will explore many different style options for the interior

into Morse Boulevard, surrounding neighborhoods, and the existing park.
Attendees will have an opportunity to express their preferences as to which
styles and characteristics work best with Winter Park’s unique
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.

*Location TBD*

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
conceptual building-site visualization that incorporates the community’s
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
Park community.
