"Shop Oviedo" is the Economic Development Committee's pilot program
to give local businesses and residents an economic stimulus

March 06, 2009

OVIEDO - The City of Oviedo is seeking the services of a qualified firm or individual to provide a web based "consumer loyalty/discount" program.  This pilot program's goal is to encourage the citizens of the City of Oviedo to utilize city businesses versus going outside the city for their shopping, dining, service and entertainment needs.

OviedoBiz.com was recommended by the EDC to participate in this new venture at it's last meeting which took place at City Hall on March 6th, 2009. . Additional presentations must be made to finalize the selection process with the City Council.

Oviedo is currently in a growth spurt. On the north side of Mitchell Hammock Road, east of State Road
434 and bordered by the Kingsbridge West subdivision to the east, the City of Oviedo will expand its downtown on approximately 50 acres. Street and utility systems for Oviedo on the Park are currently
under construction. The new mixed use development will feature a residential component of single-family houses, town homes and apartments, a commercial business district and retail establishments.

Oviedo on the Park has an expected completion date between 2012 and 2015. Other developments are under construction around the City offering residents new places to dine and partake of consumer services.
