No elected official is immune to criticism. It goes with the territory. Sometimes you need to shrug it off and keep moving forward. And sometimes you need to listen.
The purpose of The Apopka Voice is to inform, engage, and inspire our readers, and to start the new year, we're launching the First Annual Apopka Profiles in Courage.
The Apopka Voice has learned that a second member of the AFD Safety Committee has resigned, and that Apopka Mayor Bryan Nelson has called a press conference to respond.
City Beverages, the City of Apopka, and the Armando Borjas Jr Scholarship are proud to be bringing the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales to Apopka on December 2nd.
In case you missed it. The Apopka news week in review includes seven articles that shaped the city last week... all in one place, including details on a mixed-use project on Kelly Park Road.
On Sunday, 13 firefighters from the Apopka Fire Department, and seven of their family and friends participated in the Tunnel to Towers 5K run in New York City honoring the sacrifice made by first responders on 9/11.
The promotions came a week after the Apopka City Council approved a budget that added 18 firefighters, a Training Officer, a Health and Safety Officer, and a Quality Assurance Officer.
Our firefighters will now be able to run calls with three firefighters per apparatus, providing safety for our firefighters and higher-quality service to our residents.
The debates, discussions, tweaks, and edits typically come during the budget workshops. The hearings should be formalities that the Council agreed on two months ago.
