This Week: Eggs & Issues to Highlight Embry-Riddle Growth |
The growth and expansion of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will be the featured topic at the next Eggs & Issues on Thursday, May 13, sponsored by Halifax Health and the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Research Park, which has so far served 22 companies and generated 104 high-paying, full-time jobs, will soon gain another 10,000 square feet of production space to advance innovation and entrepreneurship in Central Florida.
The new facility – to be located on the east side of Clyde Morris Boulevard just south of Bellevue Avenue – is already fully occupied. Half of the space will support an existing Research Park innovator that is poised to expand its successful business, while the other half of the building will be devoted to Research Park operations.
University President Dr. Barry Butler will give an overview of this new facility as well as other initiatives on the horizon for the institution. Register below in Upcoming Events.

SBA Restaurant Revitalization Fund Offers Support |
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is awarding funding through the Restaurant Revitalization Program to restaurants, bars, and other similar places of business that serve food or drink. The purpose of this funding is to provide support to eligible entities that suffered revenue losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) became public law (P.L. 117-2). Section 5003 established the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF), and appropriated $28.6 billion for SBA to award funds. These appropriations remain available until expended. SBA will continue accepting applications subject to availability of funds.

Elevate Daytona Beach presented by AdventHealth seeks the next set of passionate storytellers to engage, entertain, and educate the local community. The final two audition dates are almost completely booked!
To accommodate the incredible demand, the planning committee has opened Thursday, May 27 as an additional audition date.
Past Elevate presenters have touched on topics that are serious (PTSD, addiction, abuse), funny (kitchen utensils, big voices), and inspiring (overcoming failure and tragedy). None of them have been professional speakers, just members of our community interested in helping Elevate Daytona Beach!
Won't you be the next to share your interest or inspiration?
