LADY LAKE – What makes Lady Lake, Lady Lake?
The Town of Lady Lake is launching a community branding and identity project designed to answer that question and create a clear, recognizable identity that reflects the community’s character, history and future.

A municipal brand is more than a logo or tagline. It is how people think and feel about their community. The brand identity can influence everything from the look of road signs and facilities to the Town’s website, social media, printed materials and other communications. A strong identity also helps residents quickly recognize official Town information, builds trust and community pride, and helps communicate what Lady Lake stands for. Continue reading
We had a VIP visit Lady Lake this week. Very Important Pupper. Koda the Fluff stopped by to meet some of our Lady Lake Police officers — and judging by the photos, we’re not sure who was more excited about it. Attachment.png ¬
Koda isn’t just an adorable face. Along with her human, Jena McKinstry, she’s known for supporting law enforcement and first responders through Smiles Fur Miles, using her considerable fluff and social media fame to help share public-safety messages and build positive connections between police and the communities they serve. She’s even been recognized by the FBI for her work.
Thanks for stopping by, Koda! Your application for Chief of Paw-lice is officially under review

The Lockbox Program allows first responders to access your home in an emergency. A secure, coded lockbox is placed outside your home, containing a spare key that only authorized emergency personnel can access.
This program is available to Lake County residents who are age 55 or older, or disabled individuals who live alone and/or have significant medical conditions. The program is completely free for eligible Lake County residents.
A trained representative from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office will install the lockbox and demonstrate how it works.
