📰 News we're reading
• Port Orange's Riverwalk dreams placed on hold (hometownnewsvolusia.com) — Port Orange’s long-awaited Riverwalk Park redevelopment is on hold after Bristol Development Group backed out, shelving plans for new restaurants, shops, and riverfront housing. City leaders say the land is now better assembled and remain committed to the original vision, while brokers seek new developers amid questions about whether the economy really drove Bristol’s decision. 
• Multi-Million Dollar Riverwalk Expansion in Port Orange Delayed (wftv.com) — A major $200 million Riverwalk expansion in Port Orange is delayed after the developer failed to submit a site plan and ended its agreement with the city. Officials will re-advertise the riverfront land in January, while a local coffee shop and temporary events aim to keep residents visiting the waterfront in the meantime.
