The non-profit hosted a farmers market in its parking lot to bring the community together. The event featured over 30 vendors, including farmers, food sellers, and plant vendors.
All funds raised from the event will be directed towards critical repairs, including restoring the building's roof, which has stood since 1926.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
