Holly Hill Mayor On Pictona Expansion

Holly Hill, FL – The city of Holly Hill’s Pictona facility is getting ready for Phase 2, according to Mayor Chirs Via. He said the Martin family got the facility started and they are stepping up again for the next phase. “We’ve been extremely blessed to have the Martins come to Holly Hill and invest so many millions of dollars into our community and just donate that money to the city of Holly Hill so that we could produce what is now Pictona Phase 1.” Via said the Martins are donating money towards Phase 2 and now the Volusia County ECHO Advisory Board is going to recommend that the county contribute  $2.5 million to Phase 2. “We’re underway in Phase 2 to double the size of the facility. We’re very grateful to the ECHO board for partnering with us and hopefully, this goes before the County Council.” This project is not for Holly Hill alone, according to Via.  “This is a regional project that really affects a lot of different communities. People are traveling from all over Volusia County to use these facilities and we’re just happy it’s in the heart of Holly Hill.” The Volusia County Council is expected to review the ECHO Advisory Board’s recommendation for Pictona in January.
