PORT ORANGE -- In recent weeks, we’ve learned that new jobs may be coming to Volusia County. Several companies are now considering either moving their businesses to our area or expanding their existing operations here.

Teledyne Oil & Gas, a high-tech company that currently operates a 330-worker plant in Daytona Beach, may want to build a new facility nearby. This company specializes in engineering production that is used all over the world, and would be a perfect fit for recently laid-off workers from Kennedy Space Center. It could bring 100 jobs to our local area.
