Officials, planners and business owners are hoping to expand buildings up, and create more space along Park Avenue, the main commercial street in Downtown Winter Park. "Were going to bring people to downtown that are working in the new space, and were also assuming that a good part of the new square footage will be residential as well," said Jeff Briggs, city planner. "There will be more people living and working on the avenue, and all of these new people will help support the downtown businesses."
