Bobby Jones Golf Club Clubhouse Design

Summary

After four years and $670,282 already spent on design, the Commission chose to fund a one-story clubhouse design over restarting from the construction-ready two-story plan. Dissenters warned of escalating costs and lost restaurant/views; supporters cited post-storm fiscal reality and protecting parks penny funds.
