Varying Paths to Downtown Development
by David Castagnacci
The cities of DeBary and Ormond
Beach see a vibrant downtown as key to community living and togetherness .
Ormond Beach ’ s downtown extends 1.8 miles along Granada Boulevard from the ocean at Atlantic Avenue , going west across the Halifax River to Orchard Street west of US1 on the mainland . Meanwhile , DeBary leaders envision a new downtown surrounding the city ’ s SunRail commuter rail station , five nature parks and a major regional trail network .
