Converse Mill Lofts was awarded a National Register of Historic Places plaque, recognizing the rich history and lasting impact of this iconic property. What was once a historic mill now stands as a unique living community where historic character and modern living come together.
This milestone is more than a plaque; it is a celebration of preservation, progress, and the stories that continue to shape the community for generations to come.

🧠 May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health isn’t just a personal matter; it’s the foundation for everything we do.

As we highlight Mental Health Awareness Month, a massive thank you to Victoria Cowart for leading USAA members through today's powerful session, "Renew Your Lease On Mental Health." 💚 Taking care of our minds is just as crucial as our physical health because mental health matters (every single day).

📊 The Reality & Resources
