This documentary film captures historic Lake Wales at a crucial moment, as the community comes together to rethink suburban sprawl and chart out a better future. Lake Wales Envisioned picks up on 1920s plans for the city by the famous Olmsted Brothers firm, with new proposals for reviving and extending those plans to protect this “crown jewel” of Central Florida’s highlands. The Lake Wales Envisioned plan calls for revitalization, boosting the city’s economy, protecting its scenic, ecologically significant backdrop, and nurturing its families in traditional, walkable neighborhoods.
