Alcester accepts 4-acre parcel to expand municipal golf course, council conditions work on cost details
Summary
The Alcester Industrial Park Board offered roughly 4 acres adjacent to the municipal golf course for $1; the council approved accepting the parcel with a stipulation that final construction costs be provided before work proceeds.
Council voted to accept a roughly 4-acre donation/purchase from the Alcester Industrial Park Board to extend the municipal golf course and add a new par-3 green. Staff described a tentative plan to convert two existing holes into one and place a new par-3 green in the donated area; the park board stipulated reversion if no golf-related work occurs within a set timeframe.
Staff explained the offer: "The industrial park board has offered approximately 4 acres ... adjacent to the golf course ... to donate it to the city, for the cost of a dollar," and council members moved to approve the conveyance/purchase for $1 with the condition that the council receive final cost details before construction begins. Staff estimated construction would be a multi-year effort with potential play readiness in 2026 or 2027 depending on weather and availability.
