Hello and Happy 2008 from the RiverCreek RV Resort development staff.

Please let this message serve to update our reservation holders and other interested parties on the status of RiverCreek RV Resort.

Development plans for RiverCreek RV Resort are moving forward although it is taking considerably much more time than we projected. After receiving local approval from Marion County to develop the site, we began the development permitting process from plans submitted to the county.

We are continuing to proceed through the planning, design, and permitting process and have received several important permits such as our special use permit for development of the waste water and public supply system. We have received our public supply well permit and have drilled and installed two freshwater wells. We have received consumptive use permits for water from the water management district. We have completed the required traffic studies; received approved determinations identifying the wetlands on site; completed the required wildlife and vegetation studies; we have submitted all detailed engineering and construction plans to Marion County officials and to the other state agencies and are diligently working through the permitting process.

Besides the "normal" development issues that developer's face in Florida today, the RiverCreek site has proven to be a bit more challenging since we are situated between a national forest and a state park and greenways corridor....not to mention that we have several creeks running through our property towards the adjacent Ocklawaha and Silver Rivers.....which, by the way, have been under very close scrutiny by the state agencies due to envrionmental restoration projects all along the Ocklawaha River Basin.

We are behind on our initial timetable for development and are now anticipating receiving all required permits by June 2008. Hopefully we will have the resort ready for occupancy late 2008 for the winter season next year.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and hope that you will continue to have an interest in becoming an owner at RiverCreek. We apologize for any inconvenience of not having the resort ready for occupancy as originally planned but we take comfort in the saying "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait"!

We thank you for your waiting with us and please feel free to contact us if you have further questions regarding status or if you need to modify your reservation. We look forward to seeing you again and having you as a RiverCreek RV Resort owner.

We wish you and your family and Healthy and Happy New Year. Thank you for your inquiry, interest, and continued support.

Best Regards and Safe Travels,

RiverCreek RV Resort
