A side-by-side look at how Apopka has transformed under Mayor Bryan Nelson's leadership

Apopka was heading in the wrong direction

✖ Reserves at historic lows ($3.6M) due to years of overspending

✖ Rising taxes and growing city debt

✖ Understaffed police and fire departments

✖ Fire Station 6 in a temporary trailer

✖ A vital First Responders Communication Tower sitting unused for 3 years due to poor planning.

✖ Little collaboration or funding for roads, parks, water, or affordable housing

✖ Red light cameras used to plug budget holes, not improve safety

✔ City debt reduced by over 96 percent

✔ Lower millage rate for taxpayers

✔ More police officers, lower crime, and improved public safety

✔ Brand-new, grant-funded Fire Station 6

✔ First Responders Communication Tower fully operational

✔ Over $30 million in grants secured this year alone - saving Apopka taxpayers - for roads, parks, water works, and housing

✔ Smart, transparent management restoring trust in city leadership
