Orange County set on new district map

The Orange County Board of County Commissioners approved map 7B as the new district map, adding two new districts. 

County commissioners met Tuesday, Oct. 14 to choose between maps 1A and 7B. 

After commissioners reasoned which map they preferred, a motion was made to approve map 1A. 

Four out of six commissioners voted to not approve the motion. 

Mayor Jerry Demings voted to approve the motion, but the votes weren't enough to do so.

Commissioner Nicole Wilson then made a motion to approve map 7A. 

The map was then approved after four commissioners and Demings voted yes to the map.
