Volusia/Flagler Business Report - November 2009 - Surviving in a down economy
Construction activity for new commercial buildings is down significantly this year in the Volusia-Flagler area, but that isn’t stopping some local construction firms from tapping other sources for work. Some commercial builders have kept revenues flowing by doing residential renovation projects, while others have chosen to pursue municipal projects and jobs outside the Volusia- Flagler area. Sam Cline, owner of S.E. Cline Construction Inc. in Palm Coast, said his company has managed to slightly increase its revenues so far this year, thanks to its decision to take on more municipal contracts than it had in previous years. read more...
Volusia/Flagler Business Report - October 2009 - 2009 Young Business Leaders

North American Quarry News - August 2009 - Quarrying Florida coquina goes way back, and continues — while it lasts
Sometimes small things can have a great impact on history. In the area around Saint Augustine, FL, a mixture of tiny seashells (mostly from a little clam called Donax varialibis), sand and calcite formed thousands of years ago into a unique substance called coquina. Because of its shock absorbing quality, coquina proved to be a great choice of building material for the Spanish when they constructed the large “star fort” called the Castillo de San Marcos. Cannon balls from British attacks were absorbed into the coquina fort walls, which have held strong for more than 300 years. America’s “oldest city” has survived due — at least partly — to the existence of plenty of coquina in this vicinity. read more...

Daytona Beach News Journal - May 2006 - Developers, state at odds over river dredging

Daytona Beach News Journal - August 2005 - State eases rules for private marinas
Gov. Jeb Bush and the Florida Cabinet relaxed the rules Tuesday for building or expanding private marinas. The move was sought by developers and one Volusia County city -- but fought by environmentalists, who called it a threat to natural resources and public waterways access. The rule change allows for one slip per condominium unit, dropping the complex sliding scale that had previously been used to calculate the maximum slips for a riverfront development. And though builders are still limited in how much submerged land they can affect with their docks (regardless of units), they will now be able to seek exemptions if a “public benefit” accompanies their condo projects. read more...
