River of Lakes group schedules community visioning workshops Jan. 18 and 20

The River of Lakes Heritage Corridor Scenic Highway Corridor Management Entity will seek input from residents and businesses during two community visioning workshops. The meetings will be from 6:30 - 9 p.m. Monday, Jan. 18, at the Lions Club, 4949 Billings Ave., DeLeon Springs; and 6:30 - 9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20, in the Pioneer Settlement for the Creative Arts auditorium at 1776 Lightfoot Lane, Barberville.

The workshops will be led by Dan Manley, project manager for the consulting firm Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin. Participants will be asked to share their thoughts about rural community character and develop a future vision for their community.

The River of Lakes group is working with the Florida Department of Transportation to develop a community vision plan for DeLeon Springs, Barberville, Pierson and Seville. The plan will address community improvements related to pedestrian safety and traffic; land-use and planning recommendations to maintain the rural community character; and signage and landmark recognition along the River of Lakes Heritage Corridor Scenic Highway, which includes U.S. Highways 17 and 17-92 in Volusia County.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Florida statutes, persons with disabilities who need special accommodation to participate in the proceedings should request assistance at least two days before the meeting.
