At the Village our top priority remains the health, safety and well-being of our residents and staff. Given the onset of the COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) pandemic, we are working hard to prevent and minimize the spread of the virus within our community. We continue to monitor this situation and use trusted sources of information.
