Design and maintain parkways and cul-de-sacs.
OFEHA is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of our
subdivision's common grounds. Here is a detailed overview of where the
common grounds are located. We would like to invite you to take a driving
tour of the subdivision so you can familiarize yourself with the common
areas. Common ground beautification projects increase the value of our
subdivision's homes. Funds for these projects are generated from our
homeowner's association dues, applying for Village matching grants for
projects, and funds distributed from the Village President's Golf Outing
based on subdivision's homeowner participation. This is a brief summary of
these common grounds, their current condition and steps OFEHA has or would
like to take to enhance them.
