Pioneer Square


Wouldn't it be nice to have a grocery store nearby? It would be great to have a Publix supermarket and a bank within walking distance to Venetian Bay and Waters Edge. Pioneer Square is planed to be built on the northeast corner of Pioneer Trail and Airport Road. This will be a huge boost to our area neighborhoods if it is approved by our county counsel on Thursday April 17th. It will not only be extremely convenient for everyone who lives in the area, but our property values will also increase. I urge everyone to email the counsel members and encourage them to vote yes to the land use change this Thursday.


Here are the facts as I understand them:


*RR Farms is asking County Council to remap a 9.6-acre site at the northeast corner of Airport Road and Pioneer Trail from agriculture to a limited commercial use.


*Publix is under contract for this site.





*There is no request for Volusia County government incentives, the project is privately funded development.





*Pioneer Square is not a "strip mall" - the map amendment will include a limitation on the size of the project to limit it to a local grocery store and potential bank, with both uses set behind substantial landscape buffers along both Airport Road and Pioneer Trail.
