a. W. Fairbanks Guidance Language

Economic Development Advisory Board Regular Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park's Economic Development Advisory Board is reviewing "Guidance Language" for the W. Fairbanks area. This language aims to create a framework for future development and incentives. The proposed guidance focuses on specific business segments, including professional, scientific, tech services, retail, and finance, with a recent amendment to include medical services but exclude hospitals. Discussions also touched on the potential for higher density housing. This item is currently under review and has been forwarded to other advisory boards and the commission for further consideration. The project would involve developing plans and potentially offering incentives that could lead to new construction or redevelopment in the W. Fairbanks area. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as real estate development, engineering, construction, and business consulting may find opportunities as this guidance takes shape. Engaging early could provide an advantage as specific projects and their requirements are defined.
