MAYOR DEMINGS' DIGEST

Throughout my four decades of public service in Orange County, I’ve listened to our residents and gained a better understanding of who we are and where we’re going. On Dec. 4, 2018, I made the commitment to Orange County to build a community that works for everyone. We’ve hit the ground running, and through innovation, collaboration and inclusiveness, we’re prioritizing the needs of our citizens.
We’re embarking on a new era in economic prosperity as we draw on our strengths and renewed regional alliance to bring opportunity to all Central Floridians. It has only been 100 days, and we’re already making great strides . I can’t wait to see what our future holds.
