Realtors in Favor of Community Arts Venues

RISMEDIA, July 23, 2007—The Orlando Regional Realtor® Association has extended its support of Orange County’s and the City of Orlando’s efforts to build a new arena and performing-arts center in downtown Orlando and to renovate the Florida Citrus Bowl stadium. City leaders will vote on the project on Monday, July 23; Orange County leaders will vote Thursday, July 26.

“Realtors view the construction and renovation projects as a quality of life issue that will both benefit Orlando’s current residents and appeal to those individuals and corporations who are considering a relocation to the area,” says ORRA President Randy Martin, GRI, RE/MAX 200 Realty. “These two factors contribute to the health of Orlando’s housing market and therefore to the health of Orlando’s overall economy.”

“With the addition of these venues, Orlando will be elevated to a world class destination for visiting and for living,” adds Martin.

The Orlando Regional Realtor® Association, recognized as one of the most innovative local real estate associations in the country, represents more than 12,500 real estate professionals throughout Central Florida.
