ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Orange County has embarked on an ambitious plan that is designed to determine what the area will look like in the year 2050. According to numbers provided by county leaders, the population of Orange County currently stands at 1.4 million people. “If we are to create the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT) envisioned by Walt Disney, it requires smart planning and ongoing consideration of future growth,” Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said in a video about the project on the county’s website. Orange County leaders have divided the county into six market areas to study for growth in the year 2050. He said the same model could be used to help workers live closer to their jobs at the University of Central Florida and Orlando International Airport.
