Hello Neighbors!
I hope everyone is having a great holiday season, I love the lights and decorations I’ve seen so far! I am very excited to let everyone know what’s been going on in the neighborhood and what’s on the horizon.
1) We have parted ways with our management company and are bringing everything in-house again. As a board, we are anxious to begin reestablishing ways of working together as a community, hearing everyone’s input, and working together to ensure Jamestowne Village is restored to its standards and beauty that not only protect our investment but make it a great place to live.
2) As a board, we have been working hard the last month to get things established and start moving the needle. So far the old broken playground has been removed and we are working on pricing new structures and also picnic tables for the area, as well as fence repair. We now have a neighborhood P. O. Box. Our website, www.jamestownevillage.info, has been loaded up with useful information and FAQs, so please take a moment to look at it! We are getting contacts together to install a sprinkler system in the front entrance so we can finally plant grass, and also working to improve other landscaping such as cutting back trees in the entrance, around ponds, in Gunpowder Court and in the Playground area.
3) Our annual meeting will be Monday, January 28th from 6:30pm-7pm at the new James Island Town Hall at 1122 Dills Bluff Rd. Board meeting to follow from 7pm-7:45pm.
4) We are looking for people to join our HOA! If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to email [email protected]. We will elect new members at the January meeting.
Sincerely,
Sarah Cobb
Manager/Treasurer/Secretary
Architectural Review Committee
