Summary

The Port of St. James Association (PSJA) is the community association described on the subdivision’s official website. The site says the Association began in the late 1960s, serves a summer-residential subdivision of slightly more than 1,000 properties, and maintains or administers common beaches, a pavilion, a campground, trails, and protective covenants.

This is an organization record based on the Association’s own public description; it does not infer legal status, complete membership, property title, or current facility conditions.

Sources

  1. The official site describes the Association’s late-1960s origin, summer-residential membership, shared beaches/pavilion/campground/trails, and protective covenants. It does not provide bylaws, a complete membership list, a legal boundary, or a complete governance history.
  2. The current listing returns Port St James Associates at 28005 Donegal Bay Road with GPS coordinates 45.7459558, -85.5569431. This is a current listing/address locator for the Association, not proof of its legal office, subdivision boundary, common-property extent, or historical location.
  3. In response to a question about renting the Donegal Bay Park pavilion, a community participant stated that the park was an asset of the Port St. James Association and directed the requester to the Association’s board contacts. This is useful local-use evidence linking the park and pavilion to the Association, but it is not a deed, legal boundary record, or current facility-management agreement.
