The Lake Wales Community Redevelopment Agency narrowed its selection of developers for the Historic Walesbilt Hotel restoration to two firms. The CRA board approved a shortlist consisting of Restoration St. Louis/REG architects, which scored 96.8 out of 100, and Blackmon & Andoniades Families, which ranked second with 93.4 out of 100. The city regained ownership of the 10-story Dixie Walesbilt Hotel, which was built in 1926, after a lawsuit.
