Overview: In a key development at the Volusia ECHO Advisory Committee meeting, members voted to recommend shortening the restrictive covenants on grants from 40 years to 20 years. This proposal aims to streamline the grant process and make it more adaptable to changing needs. The committee discussed the differences in existing grant terms, which currently include 30-year and 40-year covenants, and decided to push for a more uniform 20-year term. This measure will now be forwarded to the county council for consideration.
