The Amazon facility includes 1.4 million square feet of space across 23 acres and employs 1,450 workers . Just to the south and east of Amazon is the Interstate 4 Logistics Park ; the new building is a 1 million-square-foot logistics center .
“ These are some of the big ones ,” Mayes says . “ Now we ’ re starting to get those specialty medical centers , clinics , and doctor ’ s offices coming into the city , based on the health services growth Deltona has experienced .”
Mayes is referring to developments like the Advent Health Free Standing Emergency Room , which opened in 2019 and the Halifax Health / University Florida Health Hospital , which opened in 2020 , as well as the Advanced Cardiology Surgery Center , which opened early this year .
And Deltona is ready for more residents , too . Integra Myst apartments are under construction . Adjacent to the new Epic Theaters , the project is in phase one of a two-phased high-density apartment complex , with a total of 600 units .
REDEVELOPMENT Mayes says the city has always had the goals of good business retention and expansion .
“ You ’ ll see it all around the city , like TD Bank down Providence Boulevard ,” he says . “ O ’ Reilly Auto Parts bought the location , tore down the bank and built its new automobile part service center there . It adds more growth for the city .”
Other redevelopment includes the new 24,000-square-foot Family Health Source , a medical provider in Deltona , which took over a former Winn-Dixie .
“ This [ project ] offers both adult and pediatric health care and dentistry ; it ’ s an area that has developed as a medical district within itself , one of several that we have throughout the city ,” says Mayes .
He notes more redevelopment currently underway includes new retail development located at the former Bethune-Cookman Campus that will include restaurants and retail stores .
