DAYTONA BEACH When the coronavirus pandemic sent the Florida economy into lock-down mode in March, the Daytona Beach City Commission voted to temporarily waive building permit fees to keep the local construction industry going. We wanted to keep people working if they could do so safely, said then-City Commissioner Rob Gilliland. What we were trying to do was help the little guys.
Some small businesses were helped by the waiver. But the biggest beneficiary by far was the area s current largest builder of new homes: Minto Communities, developer of the fast-growing Latitude Margaritaville 55-and-older community off of LPGA Boulevard west of Interstate 95.
