You should have quite some time before the piece is finished. We’d like PGA Property Owners Association, Inc.
received a letter regarding
the PGA POA’s plans for
the community entry. Below
is a copy of the letter and
a rendering of the planned
sculpture. This work is being
done with NO SPECIAL ASSESSMENT to the property
owners and is part of the continuing enhancements and
improvements planned by the PGA POA Long Range
Planning Committee and Board of Governors.

Dear Property Owner,
PGA National was one of the first planned unit
developments in South Florida. With appreciation to the
developer and all who have served on the POA and HOA/
Condo Boards, we were the model that the other communities
followed and we have all worked hard to ensure that the
community is well maintained and updated regularly.
After the development of PGA National, communities
began creating unique and stately monuments, fountains
and other enhancements at their entries. You may recall that
several years ago, we made changes to the Northlake entry
taking it from the “back gate” to another “main gate” to the
community and also replaced the entry monuments at the
PGA Blvd/Ryder Cup entry and Ave of the Champions (the
“main” entry). It’s now time to create a centerpiece for your
main entrance.
For a number of years, your Board of Governors
have been funding capital improvements to allow these
improvements and enhancements to continue WITHOUT
A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT. Over the past couple years,
we have mentioned the plans to modify the ellipse (f/k/a the City Of Palm BeaCh Gardens
traffic ‘circle’) and lately your property manager has dropped
hints about this in the C.A.N.! newsletter. Well, it’s time to POliCe and fire dePartments
