Spring 2024 Newsletter

We would like to take this moment to thank all of our residents for helping us get through the winter season smoothly. Although there weren’t many storms – the ones we got dumped some snow on us, and gave the plow guys a lot to do. Now that everyone is starting to be outdoors more often, we would like to remind all residents that they have until April 1st to e-mail us with any damage claims that the plows may have accidentally caused during snow removal.

In addition, the board has been working diligently all winter on a lot of behind the scenes projects for Round Hill, and we are extremely excited to share some new developments with the community!

We have so much to cover it barely fits in one newsletter!

So let’s get to it!

Annual Community Board Meeting

This year’s meeting is on Friday June 7th from 6p-730p located in the Fishkill Recreation Center

Pets are not allowed – do not bring them or you cannot enter the building.

Based on feedback from our resident survey, we are hosting this year’s meeting at an indoor location. This meeting serves as an open & respectful space to discuss ongoing projects, hear resident feedback, and to vote on any open board positions or additional matters. This year we will have residents vote on a change to the bylaws regarding rental units in the community. We will have more information to share in our next newsletter so keep an eye out!

New Additions to Round Hill

We are happy to report that we have installed a solar light in the parking lot in the intersection of Ridge + Valley for more visibility during the night. As this is the first one in the community, we would like to see how it performs before adding any additional lights. If you have any feedback, please feel free to reach out!

In addition, we have widened the acceptable door colors that residents are able to use for their front doors. Specific color standards are posted on the website, and we encourage everyone to check them out for any future projects.

Round Hill Online

Last year we saw a big update to our website, and have gotten a lot of great feedback from residents on how easy it is for them to find updates or announcements!

We are continuing to expand on the digital experience for the community, and are exploring other capabilities to benefit our residents. Part of this expansion requires updating our resident contact information. We have posted an online form for residents to submit updated information for our records. Visit roundhillfishkill.com to do so – help us help you!

• The Round Hill website is the only source of communication and updates from the board. Any online message boards or social media pages are for homeowners to interact with each other, and not for topics that need responses from the board. We always encourage residents to contact us through the website or via e-mail with any questions, concerns, or just to say hi!
