“While we have a strong, unwavering commitment to the development of parks and greenways in this community, we will withdraw our staff recommendation to the Park Board for the acquisition of the Nashboro Village Golf Course. 
 
The very reason we have public meetings is to get the chance for community feedback. After last night’s meeting with residents in the Nashboro Village area, we agree with them that it is in the best interest of the community  and the Parks Department to give residents in the area the opportunity to pursue private funding for the continuation of golf in the area.  As well, the council member representing that district has pulled the legislation to authorize acquisition of the property.
 
Metro Parks will continue our efforts to fulfill the Open Space Plan as well as the Master Plan for Parks and Greenways in communities that welcome such initiatives.
