Jamestown’s $4 million golf course renovation

Posted March 15th, 2010 at 7:24 AM by SamH

Jamestown resident Pat Mattern urges his fellow citizens to turn out Tuesday, when the Town Council will discuss the proposed $4 million renovation of the town’s public golf course.

In this interview with the Jamestown News, Mayor Keith Volz freely admits that the course is a money-loser and that the renovation will force an increase in property taxes. Adding insult to injury is the fact that the town will borrow the money to renovate the course.

JLF’s Michael Sanera has researched public golf courses around the state. His results are here, here and here.
