March 2019

For 2019, we are focusing on NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, getting to know our neighbors and helping maintain our safety. Let 2019 be the year we come together and help each other maintain our beautiful neighborhood. Check your gutters, shutters, roofs, yards, bushes, shrubs and make sure they are in accordance of our covenants and keep your house looking EASY ON THE EYES! :)

14. Q: Fireworks! What are the laws and where can I find information? I want to be respectful of my neighbors.

A: Georgia Laws can be found under Georgia.gov as far as what type you can buy legally in our state. I'll quote directly from their website: "Fireworks were really meant to be enjoyed during the holidays: 4th of July and New Years. Legally, you can only ignite fireworks up until a certain hour and they are as follows: New Years-until 1 a.m. Fourth of July-until Midnight and any other day- not after 9 p.m. Fireworks are banned within 100 yards of hospitals, nursing homes, prison, nuclear power plants and gas station or refinery. Fireworks are strictly prohibited in state parks." Please be mindful of your neighbors!
