Walt Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing Development
Walt Disney World Resort is earmarking nearly 80 acres of land to bring a new affordable housing development to Orange County, FL.
The new development is expected to include more than 1,300 units and will be constructed by a third-party affordable housing developer on Disney land near its Central FL theme parks. Homes will be available for qualifying applicants including both Disney cast members and the general public.
The development will be located in close proximity to schools and the Flamingo Crossings Town Center retail and dining complex. It will also offer a variety of amenities to foster a strong community.
“The lack of affordable housing is affecting many people across our country, including right here in Central FL,” said Jeff Vahle, president of Walt Disney World Resort. “With this initiative, we’re lending a hand to make a real and meaningful impact in our community by tapping into the best of our company’s strengths.”
