On Wednesday, October 15th, the Ormond
Beach Chamber of Commerce, in partnership
with the City of Ormond Beach, held the tenth
annual State of the City address at Oceanside
Golf and Country Club. Approximately 200
people attended the event.
Mayor Ed Kelley’s video presentation focused
on the City’s future…bright, prosperous and
healthy. The presentation highlighted major
economic development projects that were
completed in the last year including DuvaSawko, Emergency
Communications Network, and S. R.
Perrott, Inc., as well as new ones to
come soon such as Padwell Holdings
and Ameritech Die and Mold South. The
recently completed expansions and new
construction of these businesses
accounted for $13.8 in construction and
the creation/retention of 460 jobs.
In local government, partnerships are
critical, and Mayor Kelley emphasized
the importance of these partnerships the
City has with other agencies, groups and private citizens. With the
Mayor’s “Award for Civic Engagement” (ACE), Mayor Ed Kelley
recognized Peggy Farmer as being
instrumental in initiating a North US1 task
force of local and County officials and
business owners to improve the appearance
of the North US1 corridor. She worked to
secure funding from the Florida Department
of Transportation for median landscaping
and irrigation as well as funding from
Volusia County and private citizens.
