Last few days to comment on three initial concepts!
A lot of great feedback has been received on three initial concept alternatives created for the Hiawatha Golf Course Property Master Plan.
If you missed Community Advisory Committee Meeting #5 and the two Open Houses hosted to get feedback from stakeholder groups, there's still time to review the plans online and let us know what you think.
Follow the links below to view and comment on the concept alternatives. The online survey will remain open through Thursday, March 28, 2019.
Board Direction
At the July 25, 2018 MPRB meeting, park commissioners approved a modified Resolution 2018-230. The modified resolution directs the CAC to only consider a reduced pumping scenario in planning the future of the golf course property and bring forward a solution that includes, at a minimum, a flood-resilient and ecologically-driven nine-hole configuration for a golf course on the property.
The modified Resolution 2018-230 also included Board direction to the CAC to reflect in the master plan appropriate methods of recognizing the role of Hiawatha Golf Course and the history of black golfers in the Minneapolis park system.
