The Downtown DeLand Community Redevelopment Agency and the DeLand City Commission will convene a joint meeting July 5 to discuss the future of the relationship between the city and GlassHouse Square LLC, the developer originally selected to build a replacement for the dilapidated Old Jail on West New York Avenue.
The meeting comes on the heels of the City Commission rejecting a planned development application for the Old Jail project, called GlassHouse Square, June 5. The application to rezone the roughly 1-acre parcel that currently houses the Old Jail for a special project was denied for lack of clarity on a number of aspects and concern over the project’s viability.
With the project’s denial, the city’s land development regulations prohibit a similar application by the same developer for a full calendar year. With that, the CRA and the City Commission will discuss the termination of the contract between GlassHouse and the city originally signed in 2018.
