Demings’ inaugural Open House on Sat., Oct. 19, 2019 at the Orange County Administration Center in downtown Orlando. The family-friendly event included an opportunity to engage with the Mayor, take a tour of the office, meet County Commissioners and learn more about County services and initiatives.
Ninety-six guests took advantage of the tours, and 32 representatives from various County departments were on hand to provide demonstrations and interact with community members. Among the departments represented included: Fire Rescue, Animal Services, Environmental Protection, Orange TV, the Orange County Library System, Neighborhood Services and the Office of Emergency Management.
