Doughnuts, ice cream, and more — A new Dunkin’ Donuts paired with Baskin- Robbins will open at 3140 Howland Blvd. — and there will also be a Subway sandwich shop at the same address.

The Deltona City Commission unanimously voted Feb. 18 to continue Deltona’s moratorium on impact fees for fire and rescue and law-enforcement services for one more year.
Deltona ceased charging these impact fees to commercial builders in March 2011, as an
“economic stimulus” for a city whose tax base lacks a vibrant commercial sector.
While Deltona missed collecting about $32,000 in fire and law-enforcement impact fees during the past year, the city gained approximately $134,000 in impact fees for transportation.
Over the past several months, Deltona has welcomed such commercial projects as a RaceTrac service station, a Dunkin’ Donuts, a McDonald’s, and two Dollar General stores.
The fees apply only to new construction, and residential construction is not affected by the moratorium. The actual fees are based on square footage.

Officials need to stop worrying about petty clothing shops, internet cafe's and help the good people of Deltona find some more businesses in which they can be proud of and heres a thought, work for (other the F & B or other service related). There is no shame in anyone working any honest job, but if Deltona ever wants to prevent the growing potential to be the next Pine Hills/Rosemont/436 - - they need to bring in some businesses that don't require a name tag.
