Getting to the point of ground breaking for Ormond Crossings continues to be a long and arduous journey. The regulatory, economic and financial obstacles experienced since Ormond Crossings inception in 1998 could have made a lesser partner lose sight of the vision and goal for this project. The City of Ormond Beach and its elected officials thank the Volusia County Council and administrative staff for remaining a patient and steadfast partner for Ormond Crossings.
