History
In 1996, twenty acres of the Jefferson Meadows golf course development were purchased from Charlie Ruma, and rezoned for a 40-unit, free-standing condominium development named Jefferson Village.
- The first five home units were built by William Fannin Builders in 1997.
- The Truberry Group took over as the prime developer in 2000; built six units at the north end of the development in 2001, and built seven additional units over the next three years.
- In April 2005, Romanelli & Hughes (“R&H”) became the prime developer and committed to completing the remaining units and to making capital improvements within the development. The improvements included: $35,000 in landscaping, including 95 trees; sharing the cost of resurfacing the roads with the Association; and sharing the cost of mechanized gates at both entrances with the Association.
- Jefferson Village Condominium Association (“JVCA” or “Association”) was governed and administered by the developer until June 2004.
- In January 2004, based on the Bylaws, the Unit Owners of the Association elected six fellow Unit Owners to form the JVCA Board of Directors.
Since 2004, the Board has met monthly or bi-monthly and has overseen all maintenance and financial matters, as well as approved new unit floor plans and landscaping. Once R&H became the owners of the undeveloped unit sites, the Board retained legal representation for JVCA to work with the previous developers and R&H to reasonably protect Unit Owners and assure a smooth partnership with R&H. The final two units were built in 2008.
The community has flourished, with 40 homes surrounded by beautiful landscaping and more than 300 trees added by the community. Residents enjoy their freestanding homes with the low-maintenance benefits of condo living, plus a unique combination of privacy, natural beauty, and open green spaces.
