The Evergreen Board of Directors will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, August 28th, at 6:00 p.m. at the Peter & Julie Cummings Library. You can review the current agenda here.

John Coniglio of Jaime Underground will be joining the Board Meeting to answer questions about the Water Main Project, as well as discuss various topics and new business. We look forward to seeing you there on Thursday.

Evergreen Water Update

Residents,

The Board is currently in the process of updating the website with additional vendors for phase II of the Evergreen Water install. Phase II involves listing pipes being run up to the house and set up for final installation.

We currently have a page set up under POA Documents. Owners will see a subsection dedicated to the Evergreen/Windstone Water Project. Current owners will have access to Martin County contacts, a valuable information section, vendor contacts for phase II (once we receive the community email from the vendors, we will update the website and send an email blast), and proposals for the community to review on installing water for the guard house.

We appreciate everyone’s patience. Please remember John Coniglio, President of Jaime Underground, will be joining us on Thursday, August 28th, at our monthly Board Meeting to give an update on the Martin County Project and answer questions regarding phase II of the installation for residents.

Thanks!

Martin County School Year 2025-26

Residents,

The month of August has arrived, and that means only one thing… back to school. Martin County School District returns to class Monday, August 11th. Just a few quick reminders:

  • Please obey and adhere to all stop signs and speed limits posted in the community, with zero exceptions.
  • Please allow extra leave to get to work or drop your children off at school. This will help navigate getting through Evergreen and Murphy Rd. It will be backed up.
  • If you are driving your child up to the bus stop, please follow and listen to the instructions of all security staff. Do not make up your own rules and disobey theirs; they will be instructed to inform Coastal and the Board of Directors of any issues.
  • Please take the time to speak to your family about the correct ways to navigate traffic in the morning and afternoon.
  • If they are their early, please have them wait under the pavilion by the guard house. Please don’t sit or stand by the Evergreen sign. It is safer this way with traffic coming from all angles.
  • Please make sure our bike riders take all their belongings from their bike prior to boarding the bus.
  • Be patient and cordial with each other definitely this first week. Please do not become frustrated with other residents, vendors, or security staff.
  • Please click here for the Bus Schedules for each school. I would have your child to the bus stop at least 5 minutes early. If they are their early, please have them wait under the pavilion by the guard house. Please don’t sit or stand by the sign. It is safer that way with traffic coming from all angles.

Have a great school year!
