Summary
The city is buying 12.54 acres next to Blackbrook Golf Course, partly to make room for a future pro shop replacement and rerouted holes, and partly to keep the land from becoming homes whose owners would complain about golf balls. Councilmember Blake initially questioned whether the land should instead serve housing needs.
