Hurricane Matthew Update

We should begin to feel the effects of Hurricane Matthew beginning late tomorrow evening.  The storm is projected to be serious and we ask that you take the appropriate precautions in and around your property.  Walk your property and secure items that could potentially become a projectile in high wind (lawn chairs, potted plants, children’s toys, Halloween decorations, etc.).
 

• We have been in contact with all Laureate Park builders and they have implemented their storm plans to secure their construction sites.  However, if you have concerns about lingering debris please contact that builder to help resolve the matter quickly. We will also be monitoring the neighborhood to help resolve any potential issues.
• Please note that the Aquatic Center will be closed all day Thursday and Friday.  We plan to open up on Saturday unless hurricane damage prevents it.  We will update the community with a damage assessment on Saturday.
• LP Fit will close on Thursday at 3:00 PM and will reopen on Saturday (unless hurricane damage prevents).
• The Information Center at Canvas Market will close at 2:00 PM tomorrow and reopen on Saturday morning (unless damage prevents).
• All HOA common areas (Crescent Park, lakefront sidewalks, playgrounds, etc.) will be closed all day Friday and reopen on Saturday morning (unless damage prevents).
• Thursday’s Live & Local is Cancelled. Yoga Nona on Saturday morning is also Cancelled.
