15 Volusia Forever Projects Recommended for County Approval By Katie Kustura, The Daytona Beach News-Journal

Nearly 11,500 acres of land across Volusia County are deemed eligible for the Volusia Forever program.

The program's advisory committee recommends that nearly 10,000 acres receive priority when the Volusia County Council votes April 5 on which properties to advance in the program's preservation process.

The committee's job earlier this month was to put properties in Group A or Group B. Fifteen were placed in Group A and three in Group B.

While properties in the latter group are still eligible, it's those in Group A that are given higher priority before the County Council.
