Local cities and organizations sent the Volusia County Council 10 letters supposing Dream Green Volusia's proposal to expand the Volusia Conservation Corridor, a subset of the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
The letters of support came from the following, according to the nonprofit Dream Green Volusia:
“Community support matters in moments such as this, when planning for the future," Dream Green Volusia founder Suzanne Scheiber said, according to a press release. "Dream Green Volusia works to protect our natural environment in Volusia County. We are so appreciative of resources and partnerships helping to make this achievable."
The Volusia Forever Committee had voted unanimously June 16 to approve its annual goals, including expanding the Volusia Conservation Corridor project area to qualify for Florida Forever matching funds.
Volusia Forever was created as a result of a 2000 voter referendum to finance the acquisition and improvement of environmentally sensitive, water resource protection, and outdoor recreation lands. Residents voted in 2020 to renew it for another 20 years.
