City of Daytona Beach Mayor DERRICK L. HENRY WELCOME MESSAGE
As Mayor of Daytona Beach, I am proud to share the 2026 State of the City: Progress with Purpose . Last year, city leaders focused on sustaining momentum and making progress in key areas. I’d like to take this opportunity to showcase projects and initiatives that strengthened Daytona Beach for all residents by pairing infrastructure investment with neighborhood quality-of-life improvements. Signature capital projects such as building a new Fire Station No. 1, upgrading facilities at Jackie Robinson Ballpark, and restoring the Main Street Arch underscore the city’s commitment to public safety and to preserving history. We’ve strengthened oversight by hiring a City Auditor, who reports directly to the City Commission. We are continuing to elevate our community by modernizing transportation and utilities, enhancing parks and recreation opportunities and advancing public safety strategies that support a vibrant, welcoming community.
As we look ahead to 2026, let’s also remember we have a lot to celebrate! It’s our sesquicentennial, or the 150 anniversary of the city’s incorporation. th
