Winter Park City Commission meeting set for April 23, 2018

Winter Park City Commissioners will vote on Monday, April 23 whether to add a rooftop venue to the planned event center set for the northwest corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Park.

The City Commission voted at their last meeting not to pursue a raked auditorium inside the future library next-door because of budget concerns. City Commissioners have two potential options before them in regards to a rooftop venue on the event center: construct it for $2,612,754, or build infrastructure for $382,235 that could lead to a rooftop venue in the future.

Project architect firm Adjaye Associates has spoken in favor of adding the rooftop venue because it’s a new destination for residents, according to the meeting agenda.
