ORMOND BEACH, Fla. – The City of Ormond Beach sent a strong message to a fuel transportation company Wednesday. The city commission passed a resolution declaring the city does not intend to provide utilities for the development. Ormond Beach's city attorney told commissioners that the city can deny offering water through the city utility to the Hull Road project because it is located outside of city limits. 'My response would be, not no, but heck no. This city will not provide you with utilities,' Mayor Bill Partington said.
