Expanded Downtown Orlando Information Center Set to Reopen with New Name, Discover Downtown

**MEDIA SNEAK PEEK & INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY**

WHAT:
In advance of the May 20th “soft” opening of the newly renovated Downtown Orlando Information Center, media can get an exclusive, sneak peek of the expanded and upgraded space this Friday, May 17th at 11:15 a.m.

During this time, updated signage featuring the new name of the information center, Discover Downtown, will be revealed outside the center. Media will gain inside access to the newly renovated interior and have the opportunity to speak with Thomas C. Chatmon, Jr., the Executive Director of the city’s Downtown Development Board/Community Redevelopment Agency, on the importance of the center and how these upgrades will further enhance the downtown experience.

The renovation has nearly doubled the size of the center, bringing it to 3,800 square feet and will feature new offerings in addition to regular services already offered, including “downtown Orlando” branded retail merchandise for sale by local makers, an interactive wall map of downtown and a 30-foot-high original mural by local artist, Boy Kong.

An official grand opening event is anticipated to take place in June 2019.
