Hearing On Kohler Golf Course Produces Lopsided Opposition
[Updated 8:08 a.m.] Early reports from citizen activists at the Town of Wilson Wednesday night hearing on the Kohler golf course proposal:
* More than 300 attendees.
* 100 registrations against, three in favor.
* Heavy criticism of the proposed golf course's incompatibilities with the current Town development plan.
* Calls for an independent environmental impact statement, as a 247-acre nature preserve would be converted to an 18-hole golf course. Concerns expressed about impacts on wildlife, native plants, The Black River on the site, etc. (Note the river is already listed as impaired due to phosphorus runoff.)
* Hearing was adjourned with no decisions taken. Additional information expected form the developer.
This is the Journal Sentinel account.
More, later.
