Daytona Beach city commissioners have voted to purchase a vacant piece of land along the eastern bank of the Halifax River and create a park. They would write a grant proposal for more than half of the $2.7million asking price.
The city is working with The Trust for Public Land on the grant and the purchase of the land located just south of Main Street at 42 S. Halifax Ave. The plan is for the trust to buy the 1.58-acre parcel, and then the city would buy the land from the trust. Currently, the Trust already is under contract to purchase the land.
According to News-Journal Online, the city may consider adding a boat dock. "Commissioner Shiela McKay-Vaughan said the park would be 'a good kick-start for the area' and improve property values, and Commissioner Pam Woods said it could become an important tourist attraction."
Daytona Beach real estate has been hard hit by the economic downturn, but it's a Buyer's Market. Contact me for ideas on how and where to buy in areas that have the best future appreciation potential.
