On Safer Communities A few years ago, I saw the success that the New York Police Department was having with “Operation Lock-it-Up.” So, we brought that here and have created an awareness campaign to help curb crime by remembering to secure your car and home. Let’s not give criminals an easy opportunity to commit crime. Along with our Neighborhood Watch program, we now have Business Watch, helping us create the same safe environment for our local businesses and main streets. We have taken the lead in Central Florida with our Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, which is successfully making apartments safer and chasing out undesirable elements. Along with the encouragement of our Council, Chief Mina has created the Open Data system, providing the most up-to-date crime statistics for everyone. On Stronger, Greener Communities On Small Business and Jobs If you’re like me who looks for a return on investment, here in Orlando, for every $1.00 spent by one of our 8 Orlando Main Streets, $86 is returned through capital investment. In District 3, we have the strongest and oldest main streets: College Park, Audubon Park Garden District, Ivanhoe Village and Mills/50. We have some of those leaders here tonight…let’s thank them for helping us build a vibrant small business community.[5][6] |
