The annual budgeting process for a Community Organization can incorporate three different budgets. You have a replacement budget (Replacement Reserves), an annual budget, and a budget for non-annual non-replacement items (Operating Reserves). Some of these budget items may not apply to all associations.
The budget can be prepared either by the Association Manager or by the Association’s Treasurer.
Developing a community is more than just breaking ground and laying foundations- it’s about shaping an environment where residents feel secure, engaged and invested. As a community manager, navigating new developments requires careful planning, effective communication, and strategic problem-solving to balance progress with sustainability.
Playgrounds are a wonderful addition to any neighborhood. Playgrounds help foster a sense of community by giving residents a convenient way to connect with neighbors while their children play and burn off energy—often year-round, thanks to Virginia's mild weather. Most importantly, playgrounds offer a space for kids to take risks and explore boundaries safely.
