Because it’s much easier to add photos, comments etc, we have added a Facebook page for the incorporation effort. There may be more pages added later.

James DeCocq of NJC Corporate Enterprises will be giving a half hour presentation on the process of incorporating a new city. There will be a question & answer session afterward. This event is sponsored and hosted by Build-Your-Own-Business-in-Orlando, a business development group. More information on the group is available at BYOBOrlando.com.
Lunch will be available in a buffet form (optional - approx $10) from the Blue Fire Grill in the Holiday Inn UCF.
We ask the members of East Orlando HOA to support this informational meeting.
We’ve talked about it for 5 years. Will it happen?
Short answer: YES eventually.
Long Answer: The wheels have begun turning and people are now working on incorporating a new city in East Orlando.
Questions unresolved as of yet?
1: Boundaries. This is undecided but it looks like it’s sure to include Avalon Park, and most likely the other larger communities in the area such as Eastwood, Stoneybrook, Waterford, Cypress Springs, Avalon Lakes, etc
2: Services. Which services will be taken over by the new city? Law Enforcement can be leased from the OCSO at a significant savings. Similar deals could probably be made with schools, water, road maintenance, etc.
3: Taxes. Everyone wants to know - “Will my taxes go up by incorporating?” No promises can be made of the future, but the way things stand now, the answer is probably no. The savings earned by managing and leasing our services should be more than enough to handle the administration of a city in the beginning.
4: What can I do? Well you can host an awareness meeting. If you can get 20 to 40 people together some of our staff can come do a 30 minute presentation with Q&A after. All you have to do is ask.
Stay tuned for more …
