Winter Park Wants to Buy Dead Bowling Alley Land

The City of Winter Park discussed buying the 1.63 acre property at 1111 W. Fairbanks Avenue, site of a former bowling alley during the City Council meeting Monday January 25th.

The recommended motion is to approve the acquisition. 

The cost is $2,900,000.

The property is currently owned by Rollins College. 

The city's purpose for the proposed acquisition is "to obtain the frontage that will allow for a future expansion of the turn lanes on that section of Fairbanks."

"The remainder of the property could be used to expand that park. The remainder could also be remarketed by the City for a use the Commission determines to be appropriate for that location."
