A New Chapter for Hunters Ridge:
2026 Annual Meeting Recap
A Message from the Association President
Welcome to the new era of the Hunters Ridge Neighborhood Association!
It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout at our first annual meeting on January 22nd. Whether you’ve lived in Hunters Ridge for decades or just moved in last month, your presence and input are what will make our revitalized association a success.
Our primary goal for 2026 is to build a transparent, helpful, and connected community. We are officially "open for business" and moving forward with a focus on clear communication and tangible results. One of our proudest early successes was managing four rounds of private snow removal this past winter—ensuring our streets were cleared quickly and safely without waiting on city services.
As we move into the warmer months, we want to keep this momentum going by shifting our focus to the projects and events that matter most to you. Below, you’ll find several ways to be informed, share your fresh ideas, weigh in on upcoming social dates, and help us prioritize our 2026 roadmap.
Review the Minutes: If you missed the annual meeting, you can find the full meeting minutes and PowerPoint are available for review.

Voice Your Opinion to the City: Our City-County Councilman, Nick Roberts, is requesting feedback from residents to better serve our district. Please take a few minutes to complete his Community Feedback Survey to ensure Hunters Ridge is heard at the city level.
