VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is holding public meetings regarding the State Road (S.R.) A1A Resiliency Plan recommendations on Wednesday, March 8, in Ormond Beach, and Tuesday, March 21, in Flagler Beach. Both meetings will begin at 5:30 p.m.

The purpose of the S.R. A1A Resiliency Plan is to develop recommendations for strengthening the S.R. A1A corridor between Roberta Road in Ormond-by-the-Sea, Volusia County, and Osprey Drive in Beverly Beach, Flagler County. The public meetings are being held to present the plan’s recommendations along the 13-mile corridor and receive community feedback. The Resiliency Plan proposes different options along the corridor and recommends moving forward with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Dune Renourishment Project planned along 2.6 miles in Flagler County.
