The Commons will be the center of activity once members begin moving into the community the week of March 8th.

"Now that we're so close to opening, members are getting really excited," said Gerald Schaffer, Oak Hammock board member and interim CEO. "We've watched this community develop from vision to reality — and the transformation over just the past couple months alone has been amazing. All of us who have been involved with this project are very, very proud."
