President’s News

Board, Grounds & Maintenance

King’s Grant Community League President, Steve Nimitz, recently shared the following updates with the board of directors. The next meeting of the board is December 11th.

  1. A picture of a flag pole in a park

    A flag pole was installed at Witt Park in November 2017

    Stumps at Witt Park were removed yesterday.  The flagpole installation, starting with the foundation, is supposed to begin today.  We might have a flagpole within days.  After that, the scouts will return to work on new benches and site restoration (with new topsoil in some areas).

  2. I stopped at Witt Park this morning to check out the work.  I found the electric meter destroyed again.  This is the 2ndtime in as many years.  There is glass all around.  I did not have  time to pick it up.  I will file the police report and contact the electric company.  Very disappointing.  My guess is that the vandalism happened Wednesday night.
  3. Kevin joined me this morning at8:15 to walk the median that separates KG Road as you enter from the intersection with N. Lynnhaven (at the traffic light).  A rep from the city’s Highway maintenance was there at my request to assess the curb around the median where it is damaged or sunk below the roadbed.  I am optimistic that we’ll see some corrective maintenance done on that.  If you don’t know, KG Road and N. Lynnhaven will both be repaved this year which is why I asked the city to come take a look.
  4. A KGCL member volunteered to decorate the KG walls with large lighted wreathes for the holidays.  I plan to retrieve our Christmas lights from the shed this week, take them home, and test them.  The plan is to decorate Witt Park on 2-3 Dec (we obviously need the power meter fixed before then).

There are several items to report from the recent Board of Directors Meeting.  Starting
with this post we will strive to highlight items from the meeting minutes for the convenience of members and non-member residents.  All meeting minutes can be found on our “Meetings” page.

 

Thank You May Farm Garden Club

Do you recall the landscaping that was done last November on King’s Grant near the intersection with N. Lynnhaven Road?  Well thanks goes to the May Farm Garden Club of Virginia Beach for funding the effort.  Though The City of Virginia Beach performed the work, it was the May Farm GC that ponied up the money to get it done.  Thank you May Farm GC!

Little Neck Community Alliance Forming

On January 25th, KGCL Board members Joe Pilla, Sally Huntington, and Lev Huntington attended a meeting of the newly forming “Little Neck Community Alliance.” During the meeting the president of the Middle Plantation Civic League proposed the construction of a large sign reading “Little Neck Corridor”, to be placed on Little Neck Road.  The sign would advertise the communities in the corridor area.  More research on the project will be done.

Spring Planting

Grounds Director, Steve Stasulis reported that he planted 600 tulip bulbs and 1,000 crocuses at the Triangle. He also planted about 100 hyacinths around the sycamore trees.  Thank you, Steve, for taking such good care of our open spaces.
