Will Ormond Beach residents and tourists get a sidewalk at the Seminole Beach approach?

The Ormond Beach City Commission tabled a request on Tuesday, May 7, by the developers of the new hotel being constructed at 251 S. Atlantic Ave., Ormond Beach Holdings LLC, to amend their development order to remove a proposed sidewalk and beach walkover access at their property. The developers are seeking to remove it after Volusia County staff refused to maintain the  new access or provide liability insurance.

According to a Oct. 16, 2023, email from county staff to the city, the county stated it already provided public access to the beach with the Seminole Avenue beach approach, and, that the hotel developers could deed the sidewalk or provide an easement to the county if they wanted to.
