To answer residents’ questions regarding the construction efforts next to the Commercial Building (2500 Pond View Way), the current construction plan is as follows:

1) Clubhouse – Construction of the Clubhouse will begin before the building of additional Spinney cottages.  We are hopeful that the infrastructure for this building will be completed this summer and that the building will be finished by Spring/Summer 2016.

2) Additional Cottages – There are 70 additional cottages that will be built.  Work on the infrastructure and utilities will begin Summer/Fall 2015.

Please do keep in mind that these are rough dates as construction timelines can be affected by many different things.  If you have any additional questions please contact the office.
