Downtown Winter Haven Florida…

Over the past five years, Downtown Winter Haven, Florida, has witnessed significant enhancements, largely driven by a single company. This entity has not only developed key landmarks like Grove Roots Brewery but is also set to launch Bowen Yards Food Hall, further transforming the city's landscape. Amidst these developments, community opinions are divided. While many applaud the introduction of new dining and entertainment options, concerns about the company's growing dominance and its impact on real estate prices and affordable housing are rising. To delve deeper into these issues and uncover the company's long-term vision for Winter Haven, we secured an exclusive interview with Six Ten, shedding light on their future initiatives in the city.

I WILL ADMIT I WAS NOT A FAN OF SIXTEN AT FIRST BUT NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND THEIR MISSION BETTER I WELCOME THEM AND EXCITED TO SEE THE CITY THAT I LOVE GROW!!

[@Christianclay]

I’m glad the video gave you some insight to help with your opinion. Thanks for watching!

[@mtolympus-worstplayerever7924]

What a fantastic video. Im so glad I came across it. I moved to WH in 2021 so Im unfamiliar with the history, but this was a great retrospective on the state of downtown. Thank you for this.

[@Christianclay]

I’m glad you’ve found the video. Excited for the growth downtown.

[@CandycaneBeyond]

Suggestion- in Japan they have some streets that have an awning above that helps shade and protect from sudden rain. Why not do that?

[@Christianclay]

Honestly that is greatly needed

[@AlignWithJesus]

Looking to move to WH, very insightful and helpful video! Excited to see the growth to come!

[@Christianclay]

Thanks for watching

[@ElCyberWizard]

We need something like lake excelsior Minnesota here.

[@Christianclay]

I need to check that place out.

As a resident of Winter Haven the transformation in downtown businesses has been amazing. Starting to be some great spots to eat and shop. Gourmet goodies did our wedding cake we love luciles, lots of interesting murals are being added as well, Defintley a lot more work needs to be done in the area and the whole area is hitting a major housing crisis for service workers, Judging by your channel you seem to be a local would love to get together some time break bread with you and talk. Regardless earned a subscription and a like I see you got some more videos for stuff in the area hope you will reach out back be blessed

[@jordanshotit3967]

Loved the episode! I love winter haven!

[@Christianclay]

Thanks Mrs Shotit!

[@pearlieorr4488]

What about the SINKHOLES in Winterheaven? I heard that the land is not safe.

[@Christianclay]

About 20 years ago there was one in a Kmart parking lot. Totally forgot about sinkholes until now.

[@erniem870]

Thanks for another great video. So nice to know what's going on in winter haven. Let's compete with Sanford and Lakeland lol. Bring more infrastructure ,we definitely need some more.

[@Christianclay]

Let’s do it Earnie !

I’ve noticed sometimes with smaller channels you get some regular people then a solid flood of stupid. It’s like Quora and Reddit users when they’re taking a break go to small KZbin channels it seems to comment. And those are some of the worst people on the internet like it’s pure concentrated awful.

Perception is everything, as a realtor your opinion is based on your perception of future profitability for yourself. However, that's not what we see for those born and raised here. I see the influx of people and development in this city as a detriment to those who have been here and helped build this town. If any of these investors wanted the luxuries of Orlando then they should have moved to Orlando furthermore, it was apparent that the former city administration didn't want the changes they saw these investors were going to bring. The pros of all of this development are only seen by those profiting off the growth, to the normal person they are seen as traffic, overcrowding, high cost, and a loss of historically significant landmarks. I also love hearing people not born in this state and this county tells me how they love the growth, once again if you wanted growth move to Orlando. Why would this guy state that he wants to build and help local businesses but didn't support the local restaurants when he was "driving to Orlando to have dinner". Orlando has become one of the most expensive housing markets in the nation outpacing its income to cost of living ratio. All of this growth and development hasn't increased median incomes in Winter Haven. In fact, the cost of living has gotten so bad that native Floridians are leaving the state in droves due to the pure expense. This video was a beautifully shot sales pitch trying to encourage people to move here so you can sell them reality as well as trying to change the local public perception of SixTen. The only thing I would have added to drive the point home would have been to have this 610 rep petting a cat like a Bond villain.

[@Christianclay]

Lol I respect your opinion. I’m glad you’ve gotten something out of it. To be honest Winter Haven is the smallest portion of business. It would benefit my sales more to do other cities that benefit my business. Regardless I see the growth happening here and I’m glad I was able to speak to the people that are making it happen.

[@jordanshotit3967]

I've met Joe (I am the camera guy and brother of Christian)and I was skeptical of him before I met him. Me and my brother made sure to ask questions that would reflect what 610 was going to do for the people as they expand the Winter Haven we all love. After meeting him I now understand that he is a great guy and has brought much needed change to Winter Haven. The more small businesses that come in always help other small businesses, and he has given many middle class Americans to be able to own their own business. Grove Roots, Haven Coffee, all of these people have been great and helps everyone in Winter Haven to have more places to visit. We actually grew up in Polk County, live here and remember when Winter Haven had nothing but Big businesses like Starbucks, and ChickFila. I would much rather support our local community members than multi million dollar corporations and 610 has made that happen.

[@jordanhamilton50]

@@jordanshotit3967 Far enough, I not blaming 610 solely for our current situation. I am however contrasting the difference of enhancement vs transformation. Enhancement is renovating a building to make it more appealing and functional. Transforming is destroying a historical build so you can construct a build that makes you feel like your some were else. If there intention is to incorporate the existing downtown and surround buildings and modernize that's fine, but they are removing 100 year old oak trees to build a parking lot for a high rise apartment complex. I am salty about all of these people coming to my city and county and acting like they are back in their home state.

[@raymondknight5298]

Another thing you can do with that is get me in there and I will sell smoked chickens, yah im in MA but I grew up in the foster care system in central fl and I learned how to smoke there , learned everything I know thats a skill in Fl , and someday Im going home.

[@Christianclay]

Bring the skills!

[@user-qv8ok2wt7c]

Downtown should have a LOT of apartments, businesses, stores restaurants. Then the city is alive. Leave suburbs out of cities

[@Christianclay]

[@Cargo_Bay]

it would be great if it was safer to walk around downtown first

[@mikedye7948]

Excellent quality video. Love the deeper dive into the community development.

[@Christianclay]

Thanks Mike! I appreciate you stopping in!

[@slimeypuma]

Listen to this guys story in the context of being 20 years in the future. Sounds like a tale of failure and what could have been

[@Christianclay]

Impressive

[@jill3621]

I think they've done great things and look forward to future developments! I hope they also consider doing projects in Lake Alfred as the population starts to boom there too with the proximity to I4

[@Christianclay]

You are in good hands in your community. I would expect much from a commercial standpoint but you can get to everything

[@pearlieorr4488]

Not so sure about those rural areas, Too far from civilization.

[@Christianclay]

What counts as civilization to you?

[@erniem870]

I wish I knew what civilization this person is talking about. Maybe he or she is from a different civilization.

[@pearlieorr4488]

Why worry, go take a look and maybe buy a house there, it may do you a lot of good. I am Floridian, go figure!

[@jamalyoung7258]

Land grab.They dgaf about winter haven,Polk or Florida.

[@Christianclay]

Do you feel like they have not helped improve downtown?

[@Rtwodtwio]

Florida is mid 😂

[@ComeAlongKay]

I’ve noticed most who use emojis to get their emphasis their point are quite often just immensely stupid people. I mean sure it’s not crime ridden San Fran or LA or Chicago. It’s hard to be an absolute dump at the level of a fart left state. I have a feeling wherever you’re from sucks and that’s why you diss other places. Or you’re just insecure and dumb.

[@ComeAlongKay]

Truly, an astounding argument you’ve managed to form my emoji friend. That’s enough thinking for you this year.

[@Rtwodtwio]

@@ComeAlongKay ur salty ngl

[@Roobetwinnings]

Florida is mid. Trump 2024 ❤❤❤

[@Christianclay]

According to my calculations Florida has the Southern most point in the United States. That is more south than mid 🤓

[@Cargo_Bay]

cringe

[@ComeAlongKay]

That isn’t an argument. Also Trump is based in Florida, a state that massively supports him, why are you supporting him but bashing Florida one of his biggest supporter states? Also if I say you’re mid as a person or where you are from is mediocre how is that proof it is? Why are people so shockingly stupid? Are you from a flyover state that no one ever talks or cares about and that’s why you’re jealous or are you from a terrible leftist state that’s a complete mess?
