Road Dues Due January 2020

Hi Neighbors,
In order to budget and plan accurately for 2020, we asked early in 2019 that dues for 2020 and going forward be given at the beginning of the year. Please let this be your friendly reminder that 2020 dues of $550 per household should now be sent in!

Please send your payments to:
Goose Creek Farms Road Committee
PO Box 604
Leesburg, VA 20176

Plan for 2020

As we discussed at the last road meeting, we plan on using the increased dues to continue maintaining and improving the condition of the road with the goal of being able to provide professional plowing services and eventually support maintenance of the spurs. We did a lot of major work in 2019 and have more to do in 2020 to maintain what we did and build up the sections we were not able to improve in 2019.

If you have ideas or suggestions for 2020, please let us know. We would be happy to hear your input and see how we can all work together to keep our road in excellent condition!

Snow Plowing in 2020

We would really like to provide professional plowing service on the road in 2020 as in 2019 the road was severely damaged by some neighbors plowing. While everyone appreciates the volunteering spirit of the neighborhood, if the road is plowed improperly, the damage to the road can cost far more to repair than the cost of professional plowing service. Please realize that the plowing can only be provided if we receive the increased dues ASAP. Our primary road contractor has offered to provide plowing services for $200/trip with the option to sand for $800.

Current Financial Status Update

In 2019 we received $14,600 in dues contributions. The good news is that is an increase in contributions of $6,200 over 2018! Well done everyone! The bad news is all the work on the road and rising costs of labor, material, and machine rental caused our spending in 2019 to increase from $14,295 in 2018 to $21,760. This operating deficit cannot be sustained and that is a major reason why we all voted and decided on raising the dues to $550 for 2020. Below you can find the 2019 ledger and final listing of contributing neighbors.

Thank you all for supporting the volunteers on the road committee and making 2019 one of the best years for road improvements and neighborhood contributions! We all look forward to continuing to serve the neighborhood in 2020!
