As a team, the Board and Management are working to maintain and improve the community. We understand that your home is likely your biggest investment, and would like to provide residents and owners in Wellington with an update on current projects that have been accomplished, work that has been approved and is awaiting scheduling or in progress, and goals for the rest of the year.
