What’s Happening in Hurricane Creek?

Entryway Road Paving

Surely you have noticed that the patchwork of lumps, bumps and potholes on Hurricane Creek Road has been remedied by repaving. Now that we have a smooth city portion of our roadway on which to drive, PLEASE send a thank you to Councilman Ledford (dledford@chattanooga.gov; Off. 423.643.7184; Cell 646.645.8317) and to Perrin Lance (pjlance@chattanooga.gov; Cell 423-567 5389; Off. 423 643 5773), to let them know how much we appreciate the work that has been done.

 

Actually, it is quite remarkable that this even occurred: When Councilman Ledford came to a meeting of the HOA Board this summer at their invitation, he announced in no uncertain terms that Hurricane Creek Road would receive no attention from the city, because:

  1. It was not in the current budget and would not be considered for several more years;

  2. Our roadway scored a 48 (on a scale of 1–100) when there are roadways in much worse condition,

  3. Our tax base of 42 city properties (out of the 580+ property residents using Hurricane Creek Road) was not sufficient to compel the city to take action.

The community was asked at the September General Meeting to contact the city and county representatives, and that may have made a difference. In the end, the city did address our situation, so we ask you to please express your thanks.

Going Fully Paperless in 2024

The HOA has been encouraging Hurricane Creek residents to go paperless with newsletters and other neighborhood communications. We aimed to go fully virtual by the end of 2023, which will cut out significant mailing expenses from the 2024 Hurricane Creek budget. To further execute this, all residents not signed up to go paperless and not up to date on dues will only receive the newsletter for Quarter 1 (set for January) of the 2024 year. The three following quarters (April, July, October) will be emailed out.

 

To ensure that you will receive the newsletter, and therefore stay up to date on what is going on in Hurricane Creek:

  1. Go to our home page and fill out the form under “Stay Updated and Go Paperless!” Fill out the form and you will be signed up for paperless communications right away.

  2. Make sure you have paid your 2024 dues of $35/year. If not, click here to go to our home page and make your annual payment.

Thank you for your help in this partnership!
