Proposes the development of the scope of work with the acquisition of the east parcels to develop the Volusia Forever Conservation Trails as a destination habitat for locals and visitors. This plan includes:
- the Volusia Forever Conservation Center which will be located adjacent to the existing IFAS offices sharing and expanding the existing demonstration gardens
- a new Outdoor Stage & Open Air Arena envisioned with movable bleachers to accommodate multiple functions and events, as well as emergency situations
- a Central Lawn that provides 2 shaded promenades for patrons from each existing entry point across the site while intersecting into the Celebration Plaza which provides a tensile canopy for additional exhibitions and seating areas
- shaded Rest Areas located alongside the Central Lawn within the rain gardens
- the Early Florida Village located by the west entrance providing a small chapel, demonstration shops and a reception hall for weddings and multiple events
- a proposed pole barn and additional parking on the west area
- a proposed Public Safety building located on the east parcels
- a shuttle area
