Henderson County considers 1.5 million Highland Lake Golf Course deal
In August 2011 the Henderson County Board of Commissioners weighed an offer of 1.5 million for Highland Lake Golf Course shared with the Henderson County Soccer Association. The plan would have the county pay 300000 and the soccer group 200000 upfront with the remaining 1 million financed by the owner at 4 percent for 10 years, totaling about 1.39 million at 34781 per quarter. Park Ridge Hospital pledged 100000 toward soccer park work, with the park hosting up to 16 events yearly and operating costs of 150000 annually. The board abandoned the deal three months later amid neighbor and taxpayer opposition.
