It’s been a busy time here at Mirror Lake as we continue working together to build a stronger, more resilient community. In this month’s edition, we’ll be sharing updates on our ongoing recovery efforts following recent hurricane impacts. Thank you to everyone for your support and patience as we work diligently to repair our community.
Additionally, we’re excited to share that the budget for 2025 is in the final stages. This financial planning ensures that our community remains vibrant, well-maintained, and prepared for future needs. We’ll provide a snapshot of key priorities and projects planned for the coming year.
