olusia County and the Daytona Beach Region are enjoying
explosive growth not seen in a long time. We wanted to highlight
this growth and shine a spotlight on some examples and a couple
of engines. Our cover story, “Diamonds in the Rough: Turning Eyesores Into
Gems”, is about Summit Hospitality and their launch of the Daytona Beach
Hard Rock Hotel. An iconic brand, Hard Rock is not only a welcome addition
to the oceanfront but it will also be a magnet for additional investments in
our beach communities. But the real story is how the Summit team took the
former Desert Inn and transformed it into a “Gem.”
John Albright and Consolidated Tomoka have clearly been an engine
of growth for the Region and made a real difference. The article on page
16 tells that story. The L. Gayle Lemerand Student Center being built will
likely become an iconic structure adding to the other recent investments on
International Speedway Blvd. Team Volusia’s Chair Dwight DuRant authors
our Road Ahead article in this issue. I agree with his statement “Team Volusia
is doing its part to fuel the local economy…”
We hope this “Growth On The Rise!” issue instills a sense of pride
and accomplishment for what has occurred so far in our community and
Piros Pazaurek • Marketing X-Rays confidence that we collectively have the ability to maintain our momentum if
Harry Russo • Daytona State College we continue to work together and support those who are leading the charge.
