Pines

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 and some rural 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 was constructed during a population boom 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, Pines was partly transformed in a botanical park and rural area. There was some protest to this decision, mainly lead by the NPP, but after talks with the mayor the party reconsidered its views.

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.
