New Landscaping for Main Gate

Next time you drive through the Main Gate you may notice something different about our Security staff . The new uniforms are one of the many enhancements to KICA Security by Director Tony Elder since he joined the association in 2016 .
According to Tony , the uniforms were a small , but important fix . " No one liked them ( the old uniforms ), they are easy to change , and small things like that can make people a lot happier ."
Security uniforms aren ' t the only changes you might notice next time you enter the island . Beginning on March 6 , the Main Gate area will be receiving a landscaping revitalization . Plantings will be removed from the bed and replaced with perennials , along with some color , and a wider turf border .
Work is set to begin on March 6 and last approximately two weeks .
