Mountain Island Lake is a great area to call home, but we recognize that we live on the edge of one of the fastest growing cities in the southeast. To preserve the lifestyle that we all enjoy we must be involved and aware. The MINU blog is one way we can keep our families safe and secure, protect our property values, help inform our neighbors, and support public and private efforts that contribute to a positive place to call home.

Mountain Island Neighborhoods United is a voluntary grassroots organization and counts on the efforts of individuals willing to take the time to make a difference. Please share your ideas, tell your neighbors about this blog and join the effort to keep this a great place to live.
