EXPLANATION: The Great Places in Florida People’s Choice Award is an annual selection of places throughout the State of Florida with a rotating theme. Nominations represent the “gold standard” of having a true sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement, and a vision for tomorrow. This year’s theme was Great Resilient Places and the Village submitted the Wellington Environmental Preserve at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Everglades Habitat for the award nomination. The Preserve was selected as this year’s winner among finalists The Bay (City of Sarasota) and Downtown St. Augustine. All nominations are submitted by communities and winners are determined by the public.
