Volusia County is inviting public comment on a proposed stormwater improvement project in New Smyrna Beach.

The project will upgrade stormwater systems on multiple properties owned by the New Smyrna Beach Housing Authority, including site regrading, elevation adjustments, and construction of a new stormwater pond. These improvements are designed to increase drainage capacity and reduce flood risk in the area.

Because the project is located within the 100-year floodplain (FEMA Zone AE), an environmental review is required under federal regulations, including guidelines from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The County will evaluate practicable alternatives and potential impacts to the floodplain.

Public comments are encouraged, including suggestions for alternative locations, methods to achieve the project’s purpose, or ways to minimize environmental impacts.

Written comments will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on April 21, 2026.
