Central Florida will become one of the great national and international regions around the world. And for this to happen, Orlando’s Mayor Buddy Dyer believes a world class Downtown is needed. Dyer made these remarks recently, in an exclusive interview with West Orlando News.
“When I first came into office in 2003, a lot of people would say that Downtown Orlando was blighted, when in fact it was one major block at Church Street and Orange Avenue,” Dyer said. “We have been able to transform that block which was the catalyst for so many other things that are happening in our Downtown. I think anyone that hasn’t been in our Downtown in say the last five years, are genuinely surprised when they come and see what a vibrant Downtown we have.”
