MEET & GREET EVENTS

New personnel in the city’s Redevelopment and Neighborhood Services Department began meeting with homeowners, merchants, developers and property owners across Daytona Beach’s five redevelopment areas. Led by Director Ken Thomas and supported by three project managers, the team held sessions to introduce themselves and discuss city support initiatives and upcoming opportunities for local businesses and properties. WORKSHOP FOR SMALL BUSINESSES The City of Daytona Beach partnered with the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce to host a small business workshop focused on legal and financial literacy. The event welcomed 21 attendees, including local business owners and nonprofit leaders. Speakers included Bill Rice of Cobb Cole, who covered business structure, licensing, contracts and HR regulations, and Matt Thompson of James Moore & Company, who presented on accounting practices including tax compliance, record keeping and internal controls. Attendees praised the workshop’s accessibility and value, and both the city and Chamber plan to offer similar events in the future.
