Neighborhood award

LEESMITH

Lee Smith

The Roberta Farms Property Owners' Association in Concord was named 2009 Community of the Year in the medium single family category by the N.C. chapter of the Community Associations Institute. The award is for best exemplifying the community aspects of associations through its manager, board of directors, volunteers and homeowners.

The neighborhood was started in 1992, and there are more than 150 homes there. The institute is a national organization that fosters vibrant community associations.

The event is part of the library system's "One Book One Community" program, which aims to bring people together to read the same novel for a shared experience.
