    Yes, the restoration of the original Hoffman Department Store is going to be a great transformation in downtown.

    As the Executive Director of Main Street Winter Haven, I am proud to recognize and give add-a-boys to the Main Street Winter Haven Design Committee who was involved in the entire process of this great project: from the conceptual stage to restore versus remodel the building; the Main Street Winter Haven Facade Grant application; and all the way to the CRA’s approval, and their funding the matching grant.

    Your downtown is lookin’ good!
