Team Volusia announces six new projects, including a fifth Amazon facility in Daytona Beach City

Team Volusia reported six new projects with a combined capital investment reported at about $175 million and an estimated 610 jobs during the Economic Development Advisory Board meeting on March 18.

Keith Norden, speaking for Team Volusia, said one of the projects is a fifth Amazon facility planned in Daytona Beach City near an existing Pepsi coal storage site. "One of note is our fifth Amazon facility, which, will be in Daytona Beach," Norden said.

Norden described the six announced projects as totaling about $175,000,000 in capital investment with an estimated payroll of about $35,000,000 and roughly 610 jobs. He also summarized Team Volusia's 15-year totals as presented to the board: 63 projects, more than 9,000 jobs and $490,000,000 in new payroll, and he said total economic impact for the period is about $3,900,000,000.

Separately, Jeff Brown reported development activity in the city, saying 43 single-family units were constructed in the last month and that construction valuation the meeting recorded as about $1,414,800,000 will be added to the tax rolls potentially in January. Brown cautioned that some monthly TRT metrics fluctuate by timing of presentations.

Board members asked about outreach to transportation partners; Brown said he had contacted the TPO and had not yet received a response. Team Volusia also noted upcoming trade shows where staff will promote the county's manufacturing and aviation strengths.
