Social Services Work with the City's Parks and Recreation Department to expand Summer Camp offerings, ensuring affordable summer programming for all Winter Garden residents. Social Services I will establish The Winter Garden Young Leaders Academy, a program hosted through the City, offering monthly and summer programs focused on essential leadership skills such as resume building, public speaking, personal financial acumen, effective government, and civic responsibility to empower our middle and high school students. Economy I plan to introduce legislation to allocate two million dollars annually from the city's discretionary spending for small business startup loans, with a cap of two hundred thousand dollars per applicant. This financial support will empower Winter Garden residents to pursue their dreams of small business ownership. It will allow our community to offset growth concerns associated with limiting big business intrusion. Economy Under my comprehensive plan for the City of Winter Garden, I am committed to ensuring that the expansion of large corporations within our community is carried out responsibly and with the utmost consideration for our city's unique character and traffic management. Economy My vision is to prioritize the growth and development of local businesses by offering tax breaks and incentives to residents who wish to start or expand their ventures within our city. This approach fosters entrepreneurship and safeguards our downtown historic business district from undue intrusion by large corporations. Government Reform Address the current imbalance in the City Worker-to-Resident Ratio (372 to 1) by proposing the creation of a dedicated Event Planning and Execution Department within the Parks and Recreation Department. This department will ensure efficient management of the city's numerous festivals and events, allowing for the expansion of other community offerings. Government Reform In addition to my proposed plan to add a dedicated Event Planning and Execution department, I will also work closely with the City Manager and City Department Leaders to ensure that the city is adequately staffed to ensure the safety and functioning government our residents deserve.
