Two new segments of Volusia County trails have been completed, and the celebrations for the latest 5.3 miles are set to last through the weekend.
The first, on Thursday, will mark the completion of Volusia County’s portion of the Coast-to-Coast Trail system, a network of paved paths along an abandoned rail bed that will one day extend across Central Florida from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico.
The Rail Trail crosses about 50 miles of southern Volusia County from DeBary to Edgewater, and Thursday’s ceremony caps off more than two decades of planning and investments. The state paid $16 million in 2007 for the property through the Florida Forever program.

One of Singapore’s top coronavirus cops, Lawrence Wong, gazed into the carefully separated audience at a premier convention center Monday and quipped that it was almost like old times. On the face of it, hardly anything is the same. Getting in the door required an onsite Covid-19 test and strict curbs prevented any mingling. Delegates masked up, even when asking questions. The coffee bar was off limits; gloved stewards brought drinks to you.
The restrictions, while cumbersome, are essential. Without them, there would be no conferences, which restarted in a limited capacity in October. Absent that staple of the lodging and hospitality industry, it’s hard to see Singapore making good on forecasts for a muscular economic recovery. The government expects gross domestic product to rise as much as 6% this year after falling 5.8% in 2020, the worst performance in history.
