  • Windsor Heights was a finalist this year for the All-American City designation. This video shows the presentation the city gave the judges in Tampa during the competition.

  • The City wishes to thank all of the many contributors who participated in or provided funding for the City’s participation in the All-America City competition. The total cost of the competition was approximately $35,613. Of that, the net cost to the City was approximately $7,493. To pay for these costs, the City reduced the number of representatives sent to Washington, DC, saving $4,575. Therefore the originally unbudgeted amount of $2,918 was paid for from a $6,000 savings from another line item in the budget. The participation and funding from community and regional organizations, totaling $28,120 is representative of the partnerships which made Windsor Heights an All-America City finalist!
