Marvin Miller - 89 Years Young and Giving Back in Style!

Ormond Beach celebrated Marvin Miller's 89th birthday with a fundraising event at Oceanside Country Club, turning the occasion into a community triumph. The night, aimed at raising funds for the Jewish Cultural Center, saw tickets selling out rapidly due to high demand. Miller, a beloved local figure and U.S. Army veteran, has long been a pillar of support in the community, known for his charitable endeavors and leadership.

The event underscored his commitment to giving back, featuring city honors and a key to the city, while highlighting his ongoing efforts to support veterans and the homeless.

It is with heavy hearts that the City of Ormond Beach mourns the passing of a true community pillar, Michael R. Longfellow, who served diligently as our Chief of Police until his retirement in 2010. Michael was not only a devoted servant to the public but a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His legacy of love, compassion, and unwavering integrity will forever be etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.

In celebration of Michael's life, we encourage donations to the UCF Foundation, Gene and Mary Longfellow Award, to support beginning teachers. Your generosity will honor Michael and his parents' commitment to community service and education.

Lennar Takes the Lead in Building Boom Amidst Market Melancholy

February saw the Volusia-Flagler housing market slow down with a 5.7% decrease in home sales and a 16.7% drop in condo and townhouse transactions. Despite a slight uptick in median home prices, high costs and low inventory continue to challenge buyers, even as mortgage rates start to dip. Lennar Homes has emerged as the new leading builder, outpacing D.R. Horton in new permits. In commercial real estate, notable sales include a $5.8 million deal for future Bojangles land and a $2.8 million Dunkin Donuts property sale. Kroger's experiment with a storeless grocery model in Florida faces setbacks, leading to layoffs.

Holly Hill Police Department Shaken by Growing Scandal
