WE HAVE A POST HOME!!!!
Our Post home will be built on property on Old St. Augustine Road. The property is located on the west side of Old St Augustine Road, across from Whitmore Oaks subdivision (south of Caron Drive), and our address is 13000 Old St. Augustine Road. Our 10-set was finally approved by the COJ, and we have the permits to proceed with land clearing and site preparation, to include digging the pond. We are currently in the process of obtaining a final signature from an adjacent neighbor for drainage, then we will commence site clearing.
If you know of a company that can provide these services either as a donation or at a reduced cost, contact projects@alpost372fl.org with their information.
