Putting Down Roots: Power To Be’s Gateway To Nature

We are getting closer and closer to welcoming our Power To Be community to a place they can truly call home—our gateway to nature at Prospect Lake.

After many years of planning, hard work, and collaboration we are almost ready to open the doors to our new home.
