Beautiful Lake & Golf Community | Madison, Mississippi

A magical place, the Lake Caroline community welcomes you to a lifestyle where family is celebrated, and good neighbors become lifelong friends. Lake Caroline is a 3,000-acre planned community with resort style amenities. Residents enjoy walking in an 11-acre park, boating and fishing on the second largest, private lake in Mississippi, and golfing on a championship golf course. And because the land was developed with wildlife in mind, Lake Caroline is home to pelicans, herons, bald eagles, and deer, making it a haven for nature lovers.

Director's Community Report

I am pleased to share several exciting updates taking place throughout our community as we continue working to make Lake Caroline one of the premier neighborhoods in the area.

First, I am excited to announce that beginning May 1st, Private First Class Security will officially begin patrolling our neighborhood. Their presence will provide an added level of safety and visibility throughout the community. The owner, Edward Undre Phillips, has successfully operated in the security industry for 17 years and brings extensive experience to Lake Caroline. He currently serves as a law enforcement officer with the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department and previously served our country as a United States Marine. Edward and his highly trained team currently patrol respected areas such as Belhaven Town Center, and we are proud to welcome them to Lake Caroline. They will be actively patrolling our common areas and community amenities to help maintain a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for all residents.

If you have any security-related concerns or need assistance, please contact them directly at 601-938-7581.

In addition, I would like to recognize the outstanding work currently being done by Trisler Landscape. Their dedication and professionalism are already making a noticeable impact throughout the neighborhood. The improvements at our front entrance have been especially impressive, with beautiful flowers and landscaping enhancements that create a warm and welcoming first impression for residents and guests alike.

Over the coming month, Trisler Landscape will continue these efforts with the installation of pine straw and new plantings at neighborhood entrances, along with ongoing beautification projects throughout the community. In regard to pine straw, over the years, continued application in the same areas has gradually extended beyond intended landscaped beds and into areas where natural turf was originally present. In order to improve long-term appearance, enhance curb appeal, and create future cost savings, we will begin carefully pulling pine straw back into designated landscaped areas. Those affected sections will then be fertilized and maintained to encourage healthy natural grass growth. This will allow for a cleaner, more defined landscape and an even more attractive contrast between pine straw beds and surrounding green space, while also avoiding unnecessary continued buildup.

As the weather continues to warm, this is also a friendly reminder to all residents to please ensure that lawns are being properly maintained, edged, and cared for on a regular basis. Keeping our properties neat and attractive plays an important role in the overall beauty of Lake Caroline and helps preserve the high standards we all value in our community.

Thank you for being a valued part of the Lake Caroline community. We appreciate your continued support as we work to enhance the beauty, safety, and overall experience of living here. With continued teamwork and community pride, the very best days of Lake Caroline are still ahead.

Special Assessment Meeting Update

Thank you to everyone who was present (in person, by proxy, or virtually) at the recent special assessment meeting. Votes and proxies were counted and verified by our independent auditor's office, Matthews, Cutrer and Lindsey. Please see the announcement of their results below:

-----------

We have completed the counting from last night’s vote and it overwhelmingly passed.

There were 1,005 votes that appointed LCOA as proxy and 47 “yes” votes at last night’s meeting.

There were 11 “no” votes from last night’s meeting.

Overall support for special assessment was 98.97% of all votes received.

-----------

PAYMENT DUE DATES AND AMOUNTS: The amount of the proposed special assessment is $815. Anyone who is able to pay by July 1st is requested to do so to ensure sufficient cash flows to support the project. However, in consideration of residents who may require additional time, the required payment schedule is $415 due on July 1st and $400 due on September 1st. Payments may be made in multiple increments so long as these deadlines are met. Collections actions will begin on outstanding balances remaining on November 1st.

TIMELINE ON CONSTRUCTION: Currently we are targeted to have draft final plans from Garver for the project on June 1st. MDEQ has alerted us that grant funds have not been allocated for the current year, thus we are proceeding without the expectation of any additional funds. Soon after the draft final plans are received, Garver will move forward with the RFP process and we will have a more certain idea of costs and timelines. We will update you as soon as additional information comes available.

-----------

Make your payments work for you. Please see below a graphic of potential payment options that satisfy the required deadlines. Again, you can make as many payments as you want as long as the deadlines are met. Thank you again for your commitment to our community.
