As part of its ongoing commitment to remain a state-of-the-art community, Emerald Heights has embarked on a major remodel of its lobby and main entrance. Upgrades include:

• Expanding the Living Room to encompass the current Library;
• Moving the Living Room fireplace to a central location in the expanded room and adding more windows on the east wall for increased daylight and views into the courtyard water feature;
• Relocating the Library to the current Game Room, a larger space;
• Expanding the existing elevator lobby adjacent to the Living Room, adding a second fireplace and game tables as a temporary replacement for the Game Room;
• Enlarging the Concierge desk; and
• Making cosmetic upgrades to the Coffee Shop and Country Store.

This is the summer of demolition and rebuilding! Early this month, construction crews began tearing things down -- both inside and out -- to make room for big things to come here at Emerald Heights.

Outside of Emerald Heights, the warmer weather has allowed me to continue my exploration of local hiking trails. What beautiful sights there are to see!
