The city of Ocoee celebrated<br />
National Hispanic Heritage Month<br />
from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 to recognize<br />
the diverse contributions of its<br />
Hispanic and Latino residents. A<br />
IN YOURNEIGHBORHOOD<br />
proclamation of Hispanic Heritage<br />
Month was read at the Ocoee City<br />
As part of Ocoee’s celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Hispanic art is<br />
displayed at the city’s town hall.<br />
compiled by Lauren Salinero<br />
Commission meeting in September.<br />
Motorists traveling on Clarke Road<br />
saw festive “Ocoee Celebrates<br />
Hispanic Heritage Month” pole banners<br />
along the street, and colorful<br />
framed posters, featuring Hispanic<br />
art, greeted visitors to Ocoee City<br />
Hall. The city’s governmental station,<br />
Ocoee TV, aired a series titled Latino<br />
Americans: The 500-Year Legacy<br />
that Shaped a Nation. The six-hour<br />
documentary featured interviews<br />
with nearly 100 Latinos, as well as<br />
more than 500 years of history.<br />
Ocoee residents have the chance<br />
to give feedback about the city’s<br />
parks and recreation programs. The<br />
city is updating its Comprehensive<br />
Plan and the Parks, Recreation, &<br />
Trails Master Plan and is asking residents<br />
to take an online community<br />
survey. The survey, which the city<br />
is conducting in partnership with<br />
the East Central Florida Regional<br />
Planning Council, will provide questions<br />
focusing on city parks, recreation<br />
and trails. The city is asking<br />
citizens to give their thoughts on existing<br />
parks, recreational programs<br />
and special events. Results from the<br />
survey will be used to guide future<br />
decisions on programming and<br />
how to improve the city’s park system.<br />
Complete the survey online at<br />
www.ocoee.org, under the “Quick<br />
Links” menu. The survey will be open<br />
through the end of this month.<br />
