Pathways for Parramore

With the recent approval of the new venues proposal for the downtown area, activities are in high gear to enhance the Parramore area surrounding those new venues.  Beginning in 2005, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and District 5 Commissioner Daisy Lynum announced the Pathways for Parramore initiative.  The program focuses on five pathways that will be addressed to raise the bar in Parramore.  These include housing, business development, children & education, public safety and quality of life.

The ‘Green-olution’ Continues

In an effort to continue the momentum of recent moves to make Orange County more “green”, county Mayor Richard Crotty and other officials intend on holding Central Florida’s first-ever Summit on Climate Change recently at the Orange County Convention Center.  The Summit will be geared towards all who are interested in energy and climate change issues and is open to everyone from business interests to citizens, policymakers and collegiate environmental students.
