Early morning Saturday 9/13/25, a devastating fire broke out at our Spring & Dunnica property. Thankfully, everyone is safe. One unit was completely destroyed, and several neighboring units sustained significant damage.
Our team is working closely with authorities and our insurance partners to assess the full scope of the damage, which is expected to reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. This loss hits especially hard after we just celebrated completion of a multi-year renovation of the property, made possible by hundreds of volunteer hours.
Just last month, we proudly completed the project and brought five brand-new units online. In a matter of hours, so much of that progress was undone.
