industrial park in the area.
Ms. Massey's concern is the fact that the land was donated in
1986 and nothing has ever been done with the property. She feels
if a road went in, the tax base would pay for it over a period of
time, as the road would open up available land.
Ms. Massey thought funds were appropriated in the budget several
years ago, and negotiations with the Railroad would enable a road
to be put through.
Ms. Massey then read a letter by Massey Real Estate to the Mayor
and City Council.(see attached)

Mr. Johnson suggested arranging a meeting to discuss future plans
for a road between N.W. 10th Street and Park Avenue. The City's
desire is to sit down as a group and see if the project can
feasibly be done to serve the several property owners in the
area. It is the City's position that this project would be very
viable with the growth and future need of industrial land in
Southeast Volusia.
