Due to a number of complaints from Homeowners about crime levels in the neighborhood, the Board of Directors engaged Charles Dixon from the Middletown Public Safety Commission and Chief Tobin of the Middletown Police Department to speak at the last HOA Member meeting on 10/15/08. The purpose of their visit was to educate the Homeowners regarding actual crime levels, how to interact with the Police Department and ultimately, to how to start a Neighborhood Watch Program.

You may be concerned about mosquitos, especially if you live around one of the stormwater retention ponds in the neighborhood. In Delaware, mosquito season generally lasts from March through November. Mosquitos require still water or moist mud to lay their eggs, which is why some neighbors have been concerned about possible activity near the ponds.

By now, you have probably noticed some landscaping changes to the Brick Mill entranceway. Radford Landscape Contractors have been working on the project since July. Many new plants, trees and flowers have been brought in and have greatly improved the appearance of our entranceway. However, there still remain some issues with the project, all of which the Landscaping Committee is working to get resolved.
