Dear Resident,

 As of yesterday, the City of Orlando approved the first step towards annexing Innovation Place in southeast Orange County. This annexation is occurring at the request of the property owners.

Although I cannot say for certain, I expect this to have limited impact on the overall vision for Innovation Way. However, I will be working very closely with City of Orlando Commissioner Jim Gray so that together we may ensure that this larger vision for future economic development is not impacted by any plans approved by the City as a result of this annexation.

I have also been assured that Innovation Place as it develops within the City will not adversely impact the road alignments that the County has been working on for several years. I will keep you posted with further updates as I have them.

 If you have any further questions or comments, please contact my office at (407) 836-5916.

Yours in service,
Jennifer Thompson Orange County Commissioner,
District 4 201 S. Rosalind Avenue Orlando, FL 32802
