What’s happening in Downtown Winter Garden should matter to every one of us.
A well-funded investor has been buying up buildings in our beloved downtown and is choosing not to renew the leases of long-standing small businesses — some of which have been here for years or even decades. These aren’t just businesses; they are families, friends, local sponsors, and community cornerstones.
When longtime local shops are forced out, we don’t just lose storefronts —
we lose character.
We lose history.
We lose the heart of what makes Winter Garden special.
At Winter Garden Music Academy, we care deeply about community — because we teach your children, celebrate their achievements, and see the impact the downtown charm has on them every day.
This isn’t about politics — it’s about preserving the soul of our town.
Please take a moment to sign and share this petition to help protect our small businesses and the future of Winter Garden:

Every signature counts. Every share amplifies our voice.
Let’s stand together for the people who’ve invested their lives here — not just the buildings.
Preserve the charm of downtown Winter Garden
