Kappa Map Co. has moved into its newly remodeled Downtown DeLand offices.

The company, which produces atlases and road maps as well as interactive educational maps, brings 45 employees to Downtown DeLand, President Jerry Killian said.

After The Baumgartner Co. negotiated a lease for the mapping company on the 8,000-square-foot former Orange Belt Pharmacy building at 112 E. New York Ave., Kappa undertook a $100,000 remodeling. DNR Constructors was the contractor.

Kappa Map Co. was located at the DeLand Municipal Airport, but the building needed repairs and was in foreclosure, Roger Baumgartner said. He said Kappa would have moved to Sanford had the Downtown DeLand location not been available.

I could not find any info on a Grand Am team coming to DeLand.

The # 18 and 19 cars are part of Insight Racing, out of Ohio.

Hmmm...

Oh wow, that's pretty cool Simon. I hope they run an article for that as well, as it seems rather interesting. I sure know that I'd like to learn more about it :-)
