Ormond Beach developer Paul Holub received the Citizen of the Year Award for Ormond Beach at the Volusia League of Cities Distinguished Service Awards on May 25.

The award was one of 11 presented by the Volusia League of Cities and recognizes a citizen who has enriched the community by volunteering, encouraged others to get involved and recommended solutions that resulted in cost savings and improvements to the city, according to the nomination form.
