Staff from the Marine Science Center (MSC) will discuss the center’s five-year capital plan during a public meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 11, at the Ponce Inlet Community Center, 4670 S. Peninsula Ave., Ponce Inlet.
MSC Manager Chad Macfie will share information about the center’s turtle and bird hospitals, educational programs and guest services. He will also address plans to right-size and improve services.
“We have had very little facility growth over the past 20 years, but our animal intakes have increased and educational programs have expanded, creating space, storage and visitor flow issues,” Macfie said. “Moving forward, our goal is to improve the MSC responsibly with the least amount of impact to our surroundings and neighbors.”
Public comments will be accepted. Two or more Volusia County Council members are expected to attend. For more information, call the Marine Science Center at 386-304-5545.
