The City of Winter Springs Tuscawilla Lighting & Beautification District Advisory Committee held a meeting on May 20, 2026, focusing primarily on procurement and budget matters related to landscaping and lighting projects. The committee reviewed and discussed three proposals for the Tuscora entrance renovation project from Baker, Bright Arbor, and Nature's Care, with Bright Arbor's bid of approximately $43,117.50 being selected after a detailed presentation and discussion of their landscaping and advanced lighting solutions, including app-controlled, color-changing lights. The committee also reviewed quarterly expenditures and discussed the 2027 budget preparation, particularly the timing and funding for a fountain rehabilitation project. The budget model proposed by the finance director and committee chairperson was accepted to be included in the FY27 budget, with the understanding that the city commission will make the final decision. Additionally, plans were made to issue RFPs for further lighting projects in the district, aiming for continuity in community aesthetics, with a follow-up meeting scheduled for August 19, 2026.
