IN THE WORKS
NATIONAL RECOGNITION: MAIN STREET ARCH The City of Daytona Beach’s Main Street Arch restoration project has received national recognition from the American Public Works Association (APWA), earning an award for projects under $5 million. An iconic Daytona Beach landmark since 1936, the Main Street Arch has long served as a gateway connecting the boardwalk and pier. Originally constructed as part of the Works Progress Administration, the historic structure underwent a comprehensive restoration after city staff identified significant structural deterioration, including damage to the steel and concrete components. The national award recognizes the dedication and expertise of Daytona Beach’s Public Works team, city project manager Mark Veenstra, and the project’s partners whose efforts helped restore a cherished community symbol.
