Public Notice: Environmental Review for North Beach Street Improvement Project

Volusia County is seeking public comment on a proposed roadway elevation project along North Beach Street in Ormond Beach, between the Tomoka River and Pine Tree Drive. The project would raise a portion of the roadway to improve flood resilience. Because the project area is located within wetlands and the 100-year floodplain, the County is required to evaluate alternatives and potential environmental impacts as part of the federal environmental review process.

Public comments are invited through 5:00 p.m. on January 28, 2026. Community members are encouraged to review the project details and provide input, including suggestions for alternatives or ways to minimize environmental impacts.
