• Does the neighborhood have protective covenants? What is the Eastover Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District?
  

Eastover is no longer governed by the original neighborhood covenants. However, in 2011, the Greater Eastover Neighborhood Foundation (GENF) sought and obtained approval from the Jackson City Council for a Conservation Overlay District. The spirit behind the establishment of the ENCO district, is to preserve and maintain the distinct character of the Eastover neighborhood. The provisions of the ordinance mostly speak to lot size restrictions and architectural details. To view the ordinance, click here.

• How do I purchase the neighborhood recommended yard-edge treatments?
  

The Greater Eastover Neighborhood Foundation (GENF) recommends a black coated round bollard with a ball finial. To purchase these, please contact Kimberly Mistal at Copper Sculptures Legendary Lighting at 601-992-9955 and be sure to mention that you are purchasing for Eastover.

• Why do we have a security association (the ESA) and a foundation (the GENF)?
  

A 501(c)3 non-profit organization such as the GENF cannot pay for security costs under the terms delegated by the IRS. Likewise, the ESA dues alone cannot support the full costs of neighborhood improvements and the related administrative costs. Furthermore, any improvements made by the ESA would not be tax-deductible. For more information about these organizations and how they serve the Eastover neighborhood, please see the dedicated tab on this site’s homepage.
