📰 News we're reading
• Deltona reviews safety options near Newmark Drive and Humphry Boulevard (mynews13.com) — Deltona officials are weighing new safety measures on Newmark Drive near Humphry Boulevard after nearly 100 crashes in just over a year and long‑running complaints about speeding. The city has ruled out a traffic light for now but is considering a broader third‑party traffic study and other options like additional stop controls, while residents push for stop signs and speed bumps.
• Americans are looking beyond their local markets for new homes — and Florida dominates the list: report (foxbusiness.com) — Deltona is emerging as a draw for out‑of‑town home shoppers, joining several Florida metros where most views of new construction come from buyers in other cities. With relatively affordable prices and Sun Belt lifestyle appeal, the region is seeing increased attention from people leaving higher‑cost markets, which could influence future home availability and pricing for local residents.
