All Politics Are Local And You Need To Get Involved To Protect Yourself And Your Rights!
The New Smyrna Beach Alliance is an organization dedicated to keeping our citizens informed about what our City Government is doing.
There is always a lot going on in the city, and keeping abreast of what is important is challenging. The goal of this website is to identify topics that are circling at the commission that can significantly impact you, your property, your basic rights, and to make sure that the City Commission is doing their job in alignment with effective government.
Unfortunately, it is often true, that simple tasks our city government addresses, evolve in ways that create over-reach, or scope creep, to the detriment of our community.
The section below begins your journey in exploring current business at our city government that fall within the parameters described above. Join us in keeping our city beautiful and equitable for all. Your voice needs to be amplified and here is an opportunity to make that happen.
Believe it or not, what is happening on the national stage is also happening in New Smyrna Beach on the local stage. Understanding what is transpiring is important to you and your family.
Locally, there are a number of organized groups that are very active in our political landscape. A good example is the New Smyrna Beach Residents Coalition. Some of this groups’ initiatives are out of line with current property rights, heavily aligned with the “Green New Deal”, and in some cases represent significant government over-reach.
We believe it is important to get the facts out and engage people like you to get involved and be heard.

Deering Park Innovation Center Hearing
City Commission Meeting, Tuesday May 13, 2025
City Commission Chambers, 214 Sams Ave, NSB, 6:30 PM
The City Commission will continue their review of the Deering Park Innovation Center project during their next Tuesday meeting. As we have stated before, the Alliance supports this incredible step forward to meet the objectives of the City strategic plan as it will increase the availability of high quality jobs for our young adults, while also re-balancing the property tax more toward the business properties, thus reducing the burden on the residential side. Those are but a few of the benefits!
It is quite large and extensive and has gone through many workshops and presentations to the City Commission as well as the P and Z Board.
You can read more and review documentation on our Deering Park page. The action item on Tuesdays agenda is 10-B. And do not miss the new video from the Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce on the project.
It is all on our Deering Park page and we urge you to review the documentation and attend the meeting next Tuesday, May 13, 2025 at 6:30mPM.
