Funding & Grants The City of DeBary has recently secured multiple grants and financing, including a $2.5M Volusia ECHO grant for the Alexander Island project and a $264K federal grant to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety. This indicates ongoing investment in infrastructure, sustainability, and mobility initiatives that could require project management, contractor services, grants administration, and compliance support.

Transit Oriented Growth Mosaic Development acquired DeBary parcels in a transit-oriented development district, signaling active development and interest in mixed-use, walkable communities. This presents opportunities for planning, engineering, public communication, and vendor partnerships for TOD-related services and smart city integrations.

Public Engagement Recent hires for public information roles and the city’s focus on ecotourism and history suggest a priority on transparent, citizen-facing communication and digital engagement. There may be demand for modern content platforms, CRM, and digital outreach tools to support community programs and tourism initiatives.

Bike & Walk Safety Recognition as a Bike Friendly City and investments in pedestrian safety indicate a strong emphasis on active transportation. Opportunities exist for safety audits, signage, traffic calming implementations, and potential partnerships with mobility technology providers or grant-funded infrastructure vendors.

Technology Stack The city employs a modern tech stack including Drupal, Azure, Cloudflare, and marketing automation. This points to opportunities for IT services, cloud migration, security enhancements, and digital government solutions tailored to municipal needs.
