FL - The Volusia County Council just set new goals. What are they?
It's been about five months since current Volusia County Council members started working together, and last week they set a new slate of goals for the county.
Five of the seven Council members launched their first terms in January. The goal-setting session highlighted priorities such as making it easier for people to do business with the county and beefing up recreation and entertainment offerings.
Herb Marlowe, who runs the strategic planning firm Analytica, facilitated the discussion. The county agreed to pay him $6,000 for the work.
So what did the Council talk about? Here are some highlights.
