Bluegreen Communities Supports Comal County Schools, Youth Organizations and Residents


NEW BRAUNFELS, TX – June 16, 2009 – As the nation’s premier developer of master-planned communities, including Vintage Oaks at the Vineyard, Mystic Shores at Canyon Lake, and Havenwood at Hunters Crossing, Bluegreen Communities® is more than just a real estate company.  Bluegreen is committed to providing ongoing support to the non-profit organizations, school districts, and emergency services that are vital to the continued growth of these local communities and all of Comal County. 

“Bluegreen Communities has been a great neighbor to residents in the New Braunfels area since their earliest development at Mystic Shores,” said Comal County Judge Danny Scheel. “Through their ongoing donations of land and contributions to a variety of projects, Bluegreen has maintained a constant commitment to the growth of our community.”

Some of Bluegreen’s recent community projects include the following:
•    A significant contribution toward the construction of a competition-sized swimming pool at Smithson Valley High School.
•    An annual sponsorship of the Comal County Junior Livestock Show Association, whose mission is to promote the agricultural life by providing youth with a venue to show and sell their livestock projects while developing important life skills.
•    A donation of land adjacent to Vintage Oaks at the Vineyard for a new fire station that will serve the community and surrounding area.
•    A donation to the Comal Education Foundation from proceeds from the first annual “Great Grape Stomp” event at Vintage Oaks.
•    Construction and dedication of a new boat ramp on Canyon Lake at Mystic Shores.

“Bluegreen Communities recognizes its role in the growth of the area, and with that growth comes a responsibility to participate in the future provision of services needed by the communities,” said Barry Denton, regional director for Bluegreen’s Hill Country communities. “We want Comal County residents to know that we intend to always be a positive presence in their community.”
