Tour (bus): City of Holly Hill
Tour participants will experience the “Pictona” project, which came about from an innovative idea of the City of Holly Hill – a public-private partnership between the city, a charitable foundation and a Volusia County ECHO Grant. The project addresses the decline in overall community health and blighted areas in the center of the City. Prior to 2008, the City of Holly Hill had a thriving youth baseball program that operated out of a park called Hollyland Park in the center of the City. However, for a number of reasons, the park lost its place in the baseball program. Hollyland Park became a blighted area attractive to the homeless and a place where drug deals were happening every day.  The City needed to find a way to encourage physical activities and provide educational and cultural programs to the community. Since there is a proven need for health and wellness awareness and demand for affordable alternatives, the city had a desire to provide free outdoor facilities to enjoy playing recreational activities such as bocce ball, shuffleboard, horseshoes and croquet to the community. The recreational courts were incorporated into the Senior Activity Center that was developed as part of the pickleball complex. Although these courts are part of the overall Pictona complex, unlike the pickleball courts, these programs are free for all residents. Pictona has over 900 members and is hosting large, national pickleball tournaments several times a year. The project will be completed in October 2022 with 49 courts in its world-class facility. This is a pure public-private partnership at its best.     Space is limited.

Tour (bus): Daytona Beach- Riverfront Esplanade
Spanning a mile of Intracoastal Waterway, the Riverfront Esplanade is a premier gathering space and botanical garden in the heart of Daytona Beach, Florida. Composed of more than a mile of waterfront running trail with comfortable benches and swings overlooking the Halifax River, the Riverfront Esplanade also features a dog park with an agility course and a state-of-the-art splash pad. Currently under construction, the north Esplanade is now open with the south Esplanade opening at the end of 2022.  Space is limited.

Tour (bus): City of South Daytona CRA
This tour will take place on U.S. Highway 1 between the City of Daytona Beach, heading south to Port Orange and New Smyrna Beach. The South Daytona CRA main commercial corridor is U.S. Highway 1. A major streetscape and undergrounding of utilities was completed in 2013 along one-third of this roadway through CRA, Tax Increment Funding (TIF) and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) funding. Vacant riverfront sites planned for development will be pointed out, and the Enclave at 3230 apartments, completed in 2021, will also be a focal point of the tour. Space is limited.
