Group pushes Norfolk officials to turn old golf course into public park
There's been a push recently to the land into a city park.
At the end of last year, the golf course closed, and the Hampton Roads Sanitation District took over about two-thirds of the property. However, the city still owns more than 15 acres.
The meeting on Wednesday runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the golf course clubhouse on Powhatan Avenue.
A group that started petitions to encourage the city to turn the area into a park has gotten more than 3,000 online signatures.
