3. Bond Project Update
The City of Port Orange is moving forward with several bond-funded park projects. Willow Run and City Center expansion projects are nearing completion in the design phase, with about 90% of the design done and awaiting final electrical additions and comments. White Place Park is about 20% designed. Depot Park design is also underway, and Coraci renovations are in progress. These projects will involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, paving, vertical construction, and final landscaping. The city is also seeking ECHO grant funding to expand these bond resources. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should reach out now to learn more about these projects as they progress through design and toward bidding and permitting, as early engagement can provide a competitive advantage.

4. Naming a Park in Honor of Former Mayor Allen Green
The City of Port Orange Parks and Recreation Department is considering managing approximately nine acres of the 145-acre Gamble Place property for public use. This property, which includes historic homes, is being returned to the City. Potential public uses being explored include walking areas, kayaking, fishing from a boardwalk, trails, disc golf, and events. Pavilions and a parking lot may also be constructed, though residential development is not permitted. This item is currently under review, with additional uses being considered. The project would involve site preparation, potential construction of pavilions and a parking lot, and the development of recreational amenities like trails and a disc golf course. Contractors specializing in site clearing, grading, concrete, utility work, general construction, and landscaping could find opportunities. Engaging early is advisable as plans and permits are still being developed.
