Mayor Buddy Dyer has served Orlando’s residents since 2003. During his time in office, he has worked relentlessly to advance the community’s shared vision for Orlando as the “Next Great American City.”
The Honorable Buddy Dyer – Mayor, City of Orlando
Mayor Dyer is leading the effort to diversify Central Florida’s economy and create a new breed of high-tech, high-wage careers for residents in cutting edge industries such as digital media, life sciences and biotechnology, modeling, simulation and training, and aviation and aerospace. He is also a fierce advocate for the expansion of public mass-transit and for creating more walkable, livable communities. Through his leadership, Orlando is building SunRail, Central Florida’s first-ever commuter rail system and Mayor Dyer has become a national voice for America’s cities in advancing the need for a nationwide high speed rail network.
Since his first day in office, Mayor Dyer has fought to increase cooperation and partnership between Central Florida’s many governments, its business and civic communities and its residents. The result of this effort is a new era of collaboration that has paved the way for a string of remarkable, “game changing” accomplishments for greater Orlando in a very short period of time and has set the City on course for a more prosperous future.
