Greetings Symphony Village Residents,

As you may know, the opening of the outdoor pool continues to be a topic of discussion. The Board and Management are working closely with the principles of the Operations Committee to finalize guidance for the reopening of the outdoor pool and Clubhouse.

The reopening of other areas of the Clubhouse will be contingent on additional governmental guidance and applicable restrictions and requirements.
