The city is currently looking for ways to become ‘smarter,’ using new technologies and data analysis.

City leaders will host a community meeting with an open-house style where guests can talk to representatives and give them feedback and ideas on how the city can implement these changes.

With newer technologies, Winter Park will have a better transportation system, municipal services, and ‘smarter’ utilities to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors.
