OLD CITY HALL
On November 27, 2006, the City Commission unanimously approved giving Old City Hall to Polk Community College for a Lake Wales Campus.

PCC has received a $3.6 million grant from the state to renovate the building for college use. Plans call for five 30-seat classrooms, two 45-seat computer classrooms and a 30-seat room for classes and community use. Renovations are expected to be completed by June 2009.
