Volusia County Citizens Academy 2009
Day 8: Try Living Without Us
The Public Works Department

8 a.m.- 5 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2009

Well, you can try living without the services provided by Public Works, but it won't be much fun! From road repair to garbage collection, mosquito control, traffic management and more, this department touches many facets of our daily lives. We'll spend two days, one on each side of the County, taking a closer look at these activities.

Meet at:
Road and Bridge facility
2560 W. State Road 44
DeLand
 Map (PDF format)

 Directions: The DeLand Road and Bridge Barn is about three miles from the TCK Administration Center, driving west on State Road 44. You'll know you are getting close when you drive past 84 Lumber on the left. You will then go over a bridge and turn left onto the road at the fire station.
