- Members have asked for renovations for their home. We are currently collecting the information, inspections are needed in preparation of sending to the funding sources for approval. I will be contacting all to assist with completing the renovation application process.
- Currently there are no lots available for members to build a home. , We are waiting for the Additions to Reserve to be completed which is the final stages and we will be giving regular updates to the membership.
