Financial Health:
At the age of 42, our RomeRock Association is currently enjoying its fourth consecutive year with income at record levels.
In late 2006 we repaved over five miles of RRA roads. This was the first repaving since the roads were totally recycled & paved during 1999-2001. Russell Standard, our roads company, was very pleased with how well our 26 miles of roads have held up under all the new homes construction.
361 new homes have been added since late 1993. RomeRock continues to be a fast growing and affluent portion of Ashtabula County with some vacant lakefront property now selling for the equivalent of over $500,000 per acre.
The Association reinvested over $4 million in capital improvements and Roaming Shores Village an additional $3 million+ in the last dozen years. The RRA has consistently maintained a reserve surplus fund of $80,000 over the past several years for any unforeseen emergencies.
While our total annual income struggled to reach $400,000 in the late 80's & early 90's, it is expected to surpass $1,000,000 per year from this point forward. AND IT IS THE STRENGTH OF OUR MEMBERSHIP WORKING TOGETHER THAT HAS ACHIEVED THIS MILESTONE!
