Fair Housing
The Town of Oakland has been notified of receipt of a Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for housing rehabilitation in the amount of $600,000. In addition, Orange County is providing an additional $125,000 of HUD funds to assist with the same purpose. A condition of this CDBG award agreement incorporates some new fair housing requirements that the Town post information on our website regarding fair housing rights and contact information for individuals should they want to make a fair housing complaint. Thus, please be advised of the following:
The Town of Oakland is an advocate for Fair Housing (Town Ordinance #95-07). If you feel you have been discriminated against, you may file a housing discrimination complaint at: 1-800-669-9777 (Toll Free) or 1-800-927-9275 (TTY) or locally, by contacting Dennis Foltz, Town Manager at (407) 656-1117.

Here is the 2011/12 adopted Town Budget Final Budget 2011 – 2012
Sorry about the sprinklers. The change to daylight time messed up our system but we got it fixed. Thanks for the heads-up.
We don’t have any openings right now; however, if you would like to drop a resume at Town Hall we will keep it on file in case any come up.
Certainly would like more info. In conjunction with the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation, we have been collecting info over the past couple of years on history in this area and would welcome the info on your father’s business.
As an aside, my wife is a church organist – a dying breed I am sad to say – and loves the ‘real’ pipe organs. The nearest one here is at Winter Garden Methodist. It will be 100 years old either this year or next. Sounds like your father was a real artist.
Little Oakland is still pretty quaint. The Post Office has no home delivery in the ‘historic’ town as everyone prefers to come pick up their mail and visit. We now have the West Orange Trail where the railroad tracks were and it is heavily used.
I hope you can stop by and visit when you are in Town.
Dennis Foltz, Town Manager
