After nearly seven years of planning and much debate, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will vote Wednesday on a proposed master plan for the Hiawatha Golf Course.
One Park Board commissioner said the renovation could range anywhere from $30-40 million depending on which parts of the plan are carried out.
Park Board Vice President LaTrisha Vetaw told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the master plan has taken a thorough and thoughtful approach toward making the best decision possible for the golf course and the citizens of Minneapolis.
“I think we have done the best job we possibly could to come up with something that will work for as many people as possible,” Vetaw said. “We are doing the best that we can and to make sure there remains a legacy of golf, whether it is 18 or nine holes.”
