Planning

Opinion by Bernard Markowicz — Friends of Princeville I believe Princeville is going down the drain, and the investment each of us holds here is suffering with it. For some, that investment is a home and life. For others, it is a property entrusted to a community they expect to be managed responsibly. We all deserve better. This judgment comes from my work on PHCA committees, conversations with owners, and professional experience planning and managing infrastructure projects.

The Princeville PHCA Association should have had a written hurricane-response plan ready to activate as Lowell approached.

Princeville was created as a planned community. It should continue to be managed as one. That sounds obvious, but there is an important difference between managing what comes up and deciding where the community should be five years from now. A Board can spend every month responding to legal questions, maintenance problems, individual projects and immediate complaints and still never answer the larger question: What are we trying to accomplish for Princeville?
