Downtown revitalization has happened before in Lake Wales, dating back to 1972. More than $300,000 was allocated to resurface streets, create new sidewalks and add new planters. It resulted in a downtown boom and allowed the city to qualify for the Main Street program. Ybor City's planning firm, Smith & Associates, worked alongside Whitmire & Allen construction firm to complete the redevelopment project.
