🌟 State of West Orange County Event 🌟
Mayor Jim O’Brien proudly represented the Town of Windermere at today’s State of West Orange County luncheon, hosted by the West Orange Chamber of Commerce.
He joined fellow community mayors to discuss key issues, growth, and the future of our region. Events like these strengthen collaboration and ensure we’re working together to make West Orange County an even better place to live, to work, and to play!
Thank you to the WOCC for bringing our leaders together and fostering these important conversations.
