Orlando is known as "The City Beautiful" because of its lush, green landscape and numerous lakes. Located in the center of Florida, it is a wonderful place to live, work, play, raise a family or retire. In 2000 Orlando’s population was 185,915. The population is projected to rise to 196,863 by 2005.
The Orlando International and Sanford Airports serve as the main transportation hubs for the region. The tourism industry is an economic mainstay with such attractions as Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios and other venues such as The Arabian Knights dinner show. With companies such as Lockheed Martin, the High Tech Industry is also being drawn to the Metro Orlando area along with international business, film and television, arts, culture and sports and health care.
