Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 5th of June.
Good morning, Sanford.
City officials confirmed plans for a new Costco location at the old Macy's building at Seminole Towne Center; demolition of the remaining mall will begin this year as the site is redeveloped for a mixed-use project with Costco set to open by the third quarter of next year.
In Sanford, a two-story home repeatedly damaged by floods is now a cordoned-off lot after its family sold it to Seminole County with federal assistance + the county used a federal program offering three options: buy back and demolish, elevate the home, or rebuild it.
Volusia County is considering a similar buyback plan with $20 million in federal funds + affected homeowners should be patient as federal approval may take months or years.
