- CONCRETE WORK, MONDAY-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5-9, 2020. Concrete work around the community will start on Monday, October 5, 2020 and is anticipated to complete by Friday, October 9, 2020. Specific assigned parking spaces and effected residences will receive notices on their doors regarding the work. Any spaces (assigned, visitor, or curb) required for the project will be designated by markers and tape. Please vacate those spaces for the entirety of the week (from 7:00AM to 5:00PM) or your vehicle will be relocated within the community at your cost. Once work is complete you will receive another notice and the markers/tape will be removed from the specific spaces.
