DELTONA, Fla. — Deltona residents will have to wait to find out the identity of a company proposing a $100 million distribution center on 85 acres off Normandy Boulevard and Interstate 4.
- Project Normandy will create 500 jobs
- Property tax rebates offered as incentive
- Distribution center planned on 85 acres
The Deltona City Commission had hoped to get the company’s name Thursday during a special hearing to finalize a package of economic incentives for the mystery employer.
But there was a problem with the closing. City Commissioners said they didn’t want to approve the package until they know the company’s identity.
The proposed package offers almost $2.5 million in property tax rebates over five years.
The project was discussed by the Deltona City Commission on Monday. And Thursday's gathering was a hoped-for reveal of the company.
"My issue is the transparency to the public," Deltona City Commissioner Chris Nabicht said. "As we heard on Monday night, from some people, that it's a good project. But it's a transparency issue."
Project Normandy, as it is called now, will generate 500 jobs three years after opening a 1.4 million square foot distribution facility.
The Deltona City Commission voted 7-0 to continue Thursday’s meeting to an unspecified date in the future.
