Council Minutes of 02-21-2012 Cinnamon Woods North and South and Willow Woods -have really taken a beating ~. lately. We all took a loss in this real estate crash, but any condominium -and especially newer construction -took the biggest hit. In fact, Willow Woods is unfinished.

I am glad the Administration is taking time to do research before they take away trash collection because the residents need some time to adjust to this.
