  <h3>Walmart to add separate liquor store</h3>

<p>The local Walmart, located at 1521 W. Granada Blvd., will be adding a stand-alone liquor store in the near future.</p>

<p>The liquor store will measure about 5,000 square feet. This is an amendment to their Planned Business Development zoning.</p>

<p>A public hearing on the matter is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 14, at City Hall.</p>

<h3>Security First launched matching donation campaign for Hurricane Harvey</h3>

<p>Ormond Beach insurance company Security First launched an employee matching gift campaign with the American Red Cross.</p>

<p>Security First has vowed they will double the amount of all employee donations to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Harvey relief. For example, if an employee donates $50, Security First will donate $100.</p>

<p>The campaign will run until Sept. 8.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Duke Energy Foundation awards $30,000 to Volusia County Schools</h3>

<p>The FUTURES Foundation for Volusia County Schools received a $30,000 grant from the Duke Energy Foundation, which will be used for Project IBIS at Rose Bay, teacher and classroom mini-grants and energy-related teacher trainings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Volusia County public school teachers are able to apply for the STEM and energy mini-grants until Sept. 8. The grants for the 2017-2018 school year will be awarded on Oct. 12.</p>


<aside class="content--sidebar half-size inline-right"><h6></h6><p><p>To apply for a mini-grant, visit the FUTURES&nbsp;Foundation portal at FindItFundItFlorida.com/Volusia</p>
</p></aside>


<p>Also supported by Duke Energy&#39;s grant is the Rose Bay learning center for&nbsp;Project IBIS, a school environmental learning program. The center is located in Port Orange. The other two learning centers in Project IBIS are&nbsp;the Bicentennial Youth Park in DeLand, and the&nbsp;Lyonia Preserve in Deltona.</p>

<p>In addition, the grant supports teacher training, which helps provide local participating STEM teachers with more learning tools.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Ormond Beach &#39;Home Watch&#39; business&nbsp;nationally accredited once again</h3>

<p>The&nbsp;Genuine Management Services of Ormond Beach has been accredited by the National Home Watch Association for second year in a row.</p>

<p>Owners Joseph and Marisa Rains help manage single-family homes and condominiums while the homeowners are away. They formed Genuine Management Services after the need for Home Watch and specialized concierge services grew in the community. They serve&nbsp;Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Port Orange and Daytona Beach Shores.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The NHWA was formed in 2009 to regulate standards for Home Watch and absentee homeowner services in the U.S. and Canada.</p>
