Dear Residents:
We are keeping a close eye on Hurricane Elsa and are prepared to secure all common areas. We are going to leave as much out as possible so you can enjoy the holiday weekend, however, a plan is in place to finish securing property before the storm if needed. Any furniture that has been secured that you plan on utilizing we ask that you return it to a safe location when you are finished. We have been in contact with our vendors in preparation for the storm and we ask that anyone with ongoing construction to please contact your contractors and ensure that they secure your property and all materials. We are doing our best to ensure the community is ready for any storm and will be on site as soon as it is safe following the storm for clean-up if necessary.
