During public comment at the Redevelopment Board meeting, resident Elliot Ward asked if a restaurant named Thunderbox (sometimes referred to in the discussion as Dunderbox) would open in the downtown Daytona Beach area. Board members and other attendees clarified that Thunderbox operates at a mall location and that proposed tenants have changed at various downtown sites; one attendee said a business called Prost replaced an earlier proposal.
