The hearing on the appeal is likely to take place sometime later this year. Like hundreds of residents who attended the public hearing in July 2024 to voice their opposition, we continue to oppose the group pier project proposed for 3rd basin as a major safety and environmental concern and ill-conceived overdevelopment that our lake cannot sustain.
The mission of the Crooked Lake Association is to maintain and improve the quality of lake living for all properties that surround our beautiful lake community. We are a group of individuals, moms and dads, old and young, employed and retired, that strive to achieve this mission by volunteering our time and talents to the association.
