Next Stop...Riggs Park 
Very exciting! I’ve heard good things about their fitness clubs. Do you know if the developer is going to make an official announcement?
The developer shared the news with us via email. Maybe they will make an official announcement closer to the opening date, but I do not know. They will be at community meetings over the next few weeks leading up to the April 4th public hearing for the 2nd phase.
I hope they do…make an announcement. It would awesome if they will be hiring within the neighborhood, too.
