Abstract/Contents: | Describes disputes over Rackham Golf Course in Huntington Woods near Detroit, Michigan. Explains that "the Detroit city administration began selling 'surplus property' and found a developer, Premium Golf, that was willing the buy the golf course for $11.25 million and build 400 homes on the land. That prompted an uprising of sorts in Huntington Woods, which made an offer of its own and also pointed to 80-year old deed restrictions that state the property must remain a public golf course." Discusses efforts by the city of Huntington Woods to save the course, stating that "on June 19 [2007] the Huntington Woods City Comission voted 3-1 to accept Detroit's latest price of $6 million for the course." |
