Did you know that Washington County has a grant program that you can apply for to receive back a portion of your sidewalk repair bill? Each year the grant is funded with $100,000 to help homeowners reduce the cost of expensive sidewalk repairs. We have reposted their article about the program with links to the resources so that you can apply.

ARHA March 2015 Newsletter

The sheriff’s office came through at the last minute and Arbor Ridge and The Charlias Women’s Network will be able to put on the event.

August 5th starting at 6pm in John Marty Park.

Sorry for any confusion but we hope to see you there.

Arbor Ridge and the Charlais Womens Network have been working over the last couple of weeks coordinating with Washington County Sheriffs’ department for the National Night Out to take place on this Tuesday, August 5th.

We are sorry to say that this years event needs to be cancelled due to resources still pending to be allocated to the Bethany area.  They are still having the event at other location, but just not in our area this year. We haven’t received a call back to confirm.  So we think it is best to cancel and try to re-coordinate next year etc.

Back in March it was reported that a couple of homes in Arbor Ridge had been broken into and some homes had attempted break ins.  (Post) The Washington County Sheriff has reported that these suspects have been caught.  Please read the press release below about this arrest.

Since then several home owners have banded together to form the Neighborhood Watch.  If you are interested please send an email to [email protected]
