Plans to use pandemic relief funding to build what leaders call a modest clubhouse on Forest Lake s city-owned golf course have become the target of criticism and outrage among residents and local business owners.
Mayor Mara Bain defended the decision to use 10% of the $1.5 million the city received from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to replace the small pro shop at Castlewood Golf Course because it would help with social distancing. Castlewood had unprecedented use this summer, Bain said. If we re able to more safely serve those residents, I think it meets the need.
