A group of Polk County government, business, and tourism leaders made a trip to London to discus plans for Legoland Florida.

Plans are moving along for Legoland Florida (at the old Cypress Gardens site in Winter Haven), and park officials will hold a community preview meeting in early July. That is what a group of Polk County leaders learned from Legoland officials on Thursday afternoon as they visited the company’s park in Windsor, just outside of London.

I am excited to hear about the community preview meeting in July. I think this project is a wonderful opportunity for Winter Haven and Polk County, both for the jobs it will create and in the revenue it will bring to the area. Of course the park itself will just be a lot of fun for the kids in our home, including the big one who writes this blog!

I will keep you informed with new information as I find it. Be sure to check back often.
