Effective immediately, I have stepped down from my position on the Board of Directors for The Brooks Homes Association.

I am incredibly proud of what I accomplished during my tenure, and I want to thank all of you for the opportunity to serve our wonderful community. While I am leaving the board, I look forward to continuing to connect with all of you simply as your neighbor.

Moving forward, please direct all HOA questions, maintenance requests, and general inquiries directly to the management company or the remaining board members through the official communication channels.

Thank you for your support, and I wish our community the very best.

Plans have been approved and the landscaping company has been hired for construction of the Sagemoor Entrance. The entrance will match the other two entrances to The Brooks. Construction will be the summer of 2026. This is a cost incurred by the Developer, Quinn Bellmer. Once the construction is complete and the plantings are in place, the maintenance will be the responsibility of the development.
