A Special Note to all area Homeowner's Association Groups:


Simonton Lake Area Homeowners’ Association members,

We wanted to share an upcoming meeting that may be of interest. State Rep. Tim Neese and Township Trustee Benny Russo have scheduled a meeting at the SLSC clubhouse on Thursday, October 27th. All concerned residents and business owners are urged to attend for their input and concerns regarding the traffic accidents on State Rd. 19. The meeting will start at 7:00 pm. There will probably be several staff members from the (INDOT) Indiana Department of Transportation there as well.

We hope this information is helpful to you!

Best,

Erin Harding
SLAHA Treasurer
