The Volusia Forever Advisory Committee will meet from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 16, at the Votran Mobility Management Center, 950 Big Tree Road, South Daytona.

The board is scheduled to determine eligibility of 11 grant applications. Members also will discuss funding of the small lot acquisition program, the Volusia Conservation Corridor property, and the committee’s process guidelines.

Volusia Forever is a voter-approved initiative that authorizes a property tax levy for 20 years to fund the purchase and improvement of water resource protection, conservation and recreational lands. The initiative will raise an estimated $191 million over the 20-year period.

The purpose of the advisory committee is to review grant applications and make recommendations to the Volusia County Council.
