At Pine Hills Elementary there is a saying: "Begin with the end in Mind...Building our way to an A!" And the International Drive Improvement District plans to help students achieve that goal as it begins its seventh year of support.

ORLANDO, FL (April 19, 2010)-One of the worlds top tourist and meeting destinations, the International Drive Resort Area, continues with enhanced support of its highly successful prototype safety program, thanks to a grant that has been awarded to Orange County through the U.S. Department of Justice stimulus program.

The Orange County Convention Center has received a prestigious energy-saving certification, making it the largest such exhibit hall to obtain a gold standard seal forgreen building design.

The International Drive Improvement District was able to bring some holiday joy to 790 area disadvantaged children when it partnered with the Salvation Army, along with WKMG Local 6, for its 13th annual Angel Tree program for the 2014 holiday season.
