VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Volusia County leaders have started discussions on reopening the beaches amid the spread of the coronavirus.
County leaders said many residents have asked this question. Deputy County Manager Suzanne Konchan said there would be phases to reopening the beaches.
Konchan said the first phase would probably be providing better access for the disabled and reopening some parking on the ramps.
County leaders said they would also have to think of a plan on how to best reintroduce vehicle traffic on beaches without overcrowding. “The departments have already begun meeting collaboratively on how best to relaunch our county services across our departments and divisions,” Konchan said in a statement. “It’s a broad discussion.”
