How time flies when you are adjusting to the new way of life? It has been a long time since we've all been able to get together with the cancellation of our summer events. To try to maintain some of that community connection, the HCA will be putting on a Halloween scavenger hunt in October. Keep and eye out on Facebook and your emails for details to participate. If you want to help organize, please write the board and let us know. 

As for "business" efforts, the HCA put in the following projects for the upcoming Capital improvement planning. The board took all the input and tried to group efforts together. What we put in can be found at this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LSwnUQzUUL7BfsE4ZsDr-6GhR3HbpygkfFI2zI0ggPs/edit?usp=sharing. We even had some people submit project plans to go along with the attached which were passed along to the city as well. Thank you for the responses.

PLEASE NOTE: this does not preclude you putting in similar or even the same projects privately (deadline is this Friday) if you feel we did not capture the essence of your desired improvements. We wanted to keep them more global and hope to engage with the city at future meetings to promote these. They also accept projects from individuals so don't feel you have to work through the HCA if you do not want to.

Lastly, there have been requests about temporarily extending the lighting hours at Dogwood Park to 11PM during COVID because of the need for outdoor activities and uncrowded times for the more vulnerable. If you have an objection and live near Dogwood, please let the board know along with your address so we can pass it along to the city.

Stay Safe, 
The HCA Board
