Best uses for Belvedere Terminals land

Dear Editor:

Now that it appears that Belvedere Terminals will locate in Palm Coast instead of Ormond Beach, it is my wish that Ormond Beach will use this opportunity wisely. I believe the best use of this property would be for flood prevention/mitigation.  

Do not build houses or industrial buildings on it. Use the best science to first put in retention ponds, drainage ditches, native plants and trees, green space and walking trails. After that, add picnic areas, playgrounds, ball fields, pickleball courts, etc. Turn this land into an asset that can preserve and enhance our community.
