City Commission · 2026-06-10 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park's City Commission has directed the Historic Preservation Board to review the city's current preservation ordinance. This review will include examining potential amendments, changes, education, communication strategies, and related updates. The goal is to further historic preservation efforts within the city. This process is currently under review, with the Historic Preservation Board tasked with making recommendations to the Commission. The work will likely involve research, public input, and the development of new preservation incentives. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as legal services, engineering, and potentially construction trades related to historic building restoration could benefit from early engagement. Understanding the scope of potential ordinance changes and incentive programs before formal bids or permits are issued offers an advantage.
