+ County OKs second evacuation route in Daytona North
The County Commission approved a contract with P&S Paving, of Port Orange, for more than $1 million in road construction and stormwater improvements, on Water Oak Road, to act as a second evacuation route out of Daytona North.
The project will be paid in full by disaster grants.
+ County applies for $70,000 for Bings Landing work
Bings Landing could get a new dock, new bathrooms and new lighting, if a grant application for $74,108.75 to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is approved.
Through the organization’s Boating Improvement Program, which provides funding for boating-access projects on coastal and inland waters, the County Commission approved the application submittal for this grant at its July 16 meeting.
The total cost is projected at $213,800. Aside from the $74,000 grant, the county would pay for the rest of the project through vessel registrations fees, its general fund and other grants.
