The Watercolor Way
Howdy Neighbor,
I've been checking on our Big Brother St. Joe down the beach at WaterColor this week.
Their "what to do about the Dunes Presentation" was more Professional and their Professionals were more Professional than the ones we had at the retreat according to two of the folks who attended both events. Their pony was prettier than ours, Their dog knew more tricks,their song had a better melody and their line dancing was smoother than ours.
The assessment that was thrown out for discussion was $2500 per owner...
There will be a comments and questions period before next steps are taken...
I heard that St. Joe will pay 100% of the assessment for the 60 Rooms at the Watercolor Inn since they own it. That's nice. What has not been discussed is the ENORMOUS INTANGIBLE value of the INN, the Beach CLUB with bar and grill, the Fish out of Water, the Shops,the Fitness center, Baithouse, Boat House and the Market have in helping WaterColor SELL all those other lots in Phase 3 and 4 and help to justify those ongoing regular assessments .
One more thing... About that 1/2% fee that everyone including all of us in the Retreat still pay to St. Joe every time a property transfers,
Where is all of that Money ? Is beach Remeadiation not a worthy enough cause for the St. Joe Community Fund to tackle ? $5000 on every Million, on every Lot and every home and condo and PRC (88) unit every time a property sells....
As they say down south, That's a lot of Spendola...
Imagine the Feel Good Capital St. Joe would put in the Bank if they said " St. Joe's got it covered folks, Hear is your new beach"
Y'all have been good to us. No need to get your check books out.
However, WaterColor is trying to INFORM and INVOLVE EVERYONE in the process and you have to give them Kudos for that.
At least Old St. Joe won't try to give you the bum's rush.
