Private pitch for golf course and reservoir at Sunglow area draws preliminary interest, water questions
Summary
A private proponent outlined an early concept to develop a golf course and reservoir near Sunglow, and suggested turning Sunglow into a state park; council members called it preliminary, flagged water-supply uncertainties and said Brock and others would follow up.
A private individual (identified in meeting discussion as Tyreese) has pitched an idea to develop a golf course and a small reservoir near Sunglow Park and to pursue designation of parts of Sunglow as a state park. Council members described the proposal as an early concept rather than a firm plan and said a private proponent would need a public partner (county or town) to pursue state or federal funding.
At the meeting council members questioned where water for a reservoir and irrigating fairways would come from, and whether town water resources or new wells would be required. One speaker referenced prior engineering work indicating there is groundwater in upper canyons but noted the difficulty and cost of bringing that water to the town. Participants said Brock and others planned to follow up with the proponent to explore funding options and feasibility.
No commitment, funding or formal partnership was made at the meeting; the topic was recorded as an informal proposal for staff follow-up.
