Falcon Heights - U of M Golf Course Open House

Show Description

The City of Falcon Heights has been notified that the University of Minnesota Board of Regents will vote on the disposal of the Les Bolstad Golf Course. The Falcon Heights City Council has declined to purchase the property, which is required to be offered to the city, county, and state before being sold. This is due to the estimated value of the property exceeding the city's financial capacity. However, the city's subdivision ordinance requires 10% of future developments to be dedicated to parkland, and the city may consider acquiring parts of the land later. A visioning committee has been formed to work with the University of Minnesota to help with the Request for Proposal (RFP) for a potential buyer.
