DAYTONA BEACH Less than a decade ago, the local economy here was still in the grips of the Great Recession with real estate development activity practically at a standstill. New development was largely viewed as a sign of hope and optimism.
Not anymore.
Today, a flurry of new home construction, apartment projects and commercial development throughout Volusia County has some citizens and elected officials alarmed that area is quickly becoming over-developed.
Volusia County Chair Jeff Brower is one of them. The flood gates have come open, said Brower while standing on a grassy field along LPGA Boulevard that is set to become the site of a retail center called Tymber Creek Village. The pendulum has swung the other way. Now, it s at the point where people daily are telling me Stop all growth. We can t stop all growth, but what we could do is try to slow things down. It s like we ve been on a sprint.
DAYTONA BEACH When the completely reinvented Riverfront Park opens early next year, the public green space is going to look dramatically different.
One impossible-to-miss change will be fencing wrapping around the park, a $1.5 million addition to the overhaul project made to enable the park to close every night and not reopen until the sun comes up each morning.
That was just one change mentioned during Wednesday night s City Commission meeting during a discussion of amendments to the lease agreement between the city and the private foundation that will run Riverfront Park.
During the meeting commissioners also decided to have a trail that runs through the city-owned park along the Halifax River controlled by the Brown Riverfront Esplanade Foundation.
