ORLANDO, Fla. – After a heated debate over whether to make Orlando’s Lake Davis-Greenwood neighborhood a historic district, the committee that first proposed the change has withdrawn its petition and disbanded.
A Feb. 9 meeting between neighborhood residents and city commissioners to discuss the issue has been canceled. The city sent News 6 a copy of the letter it received from the historic committee withdrawing its petition.
The committee that petitioned to consider a Historic Neighborhood Overlay has decided to disband as a committee and recommend that in the future, neighbors form a new committee to look at alternatives which might accomplish some of the same goals.
