Park board: Please move master plan forward
Messenger letter by Kristen Olsen on April 28, 2022
Excerpt:
“If adopting the much-needed Hiawatha Golf Course Master Plan were a round of golf, some of the park board commissioners would get a penalty for slow play.
The master plan addresses the current challenges: the land's low topography, a wetter climate due to climate change, declining interest in golf (compared to increased interest in other outdoor recreation), and a stormwater system that dumps often toxic trash into beautiful Lake Hiawatha.
The master plan is a sustainable, well-thought out solution, developed with years of community input, that works to restore and conserve the natural landscape.”
