Increased IRS Impersonation Scams Targeting Seniors

IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel has warned of a rise in scams targeting seniors, where fraudsters impersonate IRS officials to steal money. Scammers use various tactics, including spoofed caller IDs and fake messages, to create urgency and trick individuals into paying fake tax debts. In 2023, seniors lost $3.4 billion to such frauds. The IRS advises that official notices will always be sent by mail and that the IRS never demands immediate payment or issues threatening messages.

Ormond Beach Kicks Off 2045 Comprehensive Plan Update With Community Input

Ormond Beach is embarking on a significant update to its comprehensive plan, the first since 2010. The city's initial public meeting, held on August 26 at City Hall, marked the beginning of this process. Residents engaged with various planning elements through 14 informational stations, discussing future land use, coastal management, and capital improvements, among other topics. This meeting, a crucial step in the state-mandated Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal report, sought public input on priorities such as affordable housing, transportation enhancements, and preservation of cultural resources.

City officials are keen on integrating community feedback to shape a roadmap for Ormond Beach’s future. The comprehensive plan update is expected to address evolving needs, including transportation infrastructure improvements and sustainable growth strategies. With rapid population growth and increasing traffic, the city's planning aims to ensure that infrastructure and services keep pace with development.
