Pines is a neighborhood in the city of Newhaven. It is a relatively green and quiet neighborhood. It is mainly covered by the King Lucas Park, but also contains several residential areas. At the current location of the neighborhood, there used to be a huge pine forest, of which there are still large sections left at the edges of Pines. Pines originally planned to be a residential neighborhood to house more citizens during the population boom of the 1990s, and thus counted on a growing number of citizens. The expected numbers were however overestimated, and Pines didn't succeed in attracting a lot of new inhabitants. Therefore, the King Lucas Park, covering approximately half of the neighborhood, was constructed. The other half remained residential, and has slowly filled up to the present day.
Economy[]
After the reconstruction of the neighborhood in 2010, mainly rural and farming grounds were foreseen. The primary sector was underrepresented in Kings before the reconstruction, but since the settling of the Grindon Farming Corporation that lack has been worked away. The local government is trying hard to draw more farming companies and use a part of the newly constructed King Lucas Park as a study ground for botanic projects. Most economic activity remains however in the neighboring Old Port which is more industrial.
