At a town hall meeting on May 31, the city announced a proposal to convert the sewer
ponds south of town into a golf course, recreation area, and new home sites. To
better understand this proposal, I mapped it onto Google Earth. The map is available
for download at www.earthpoint.us. Click on “Around Town” and follow the instructions.
In its current form, this is a 530-acre project. 180 acres would be golf course
and 350 acres would be new homes. Removal of the sewer ponds would be financed by
a city bond. Construction of the golf course and recreation area would be paid for
by giving 350 acres of the land to a developer. New homes would be constructed on
this land. In exchange, the developer would build a golf course and recreation area
on the remaining 180 acres. The city would retain ownership of the golf course and
recreation area.
I am looking for more items of interest to map onto Google Earth. Please send me
your comments and suggestions. My number is 860-6311 or email [email protected].
