From the Lakehouse to The Square and The Millhouse, 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for our community.

In the months ahead, you will continue to see progress on spaces designed to bring neighbors together and create places to gather, relax, and enjoy time with family and friends. It has been rewarding to watch Riceland take shape, and we cannot wait to see these areas come to life with you.
