In May 2025, Commissioner Amy Lockhart welcomed residents to a Rosenwald Community Meeting in the East Altamonte/Winwood community. The Rosenwald Community Center Project is a Seminole County Government-led initiative intended to revitalize a historically significant site in the East Altamonte/Winwood community. Originally home to one of Florida’s early Rosenwald Schools, the property carries deep cultural and educational importance for generations of residents.

This project is about more than construction — it is about the creation of a space that serves community today and tomorrow. Site surveying began in May as Seminole County kicks off the design and construction of a new park and community center at the former Rosenwald School site.

Site work and construction of the Community Center are anticipated to begin in early 2026. It will take about a year and half to complete. The County anticipates opening the community center by summer 2027.
