A meeting was held at the Royal Oak Senior Center on July 9, 2014. A large number of residents attended the city held meeting to discuss the future of Normandy Oaks Gold Course. Due to the lack of golfers and interest in the sport, as stated in national publications, Normandy Oaks can no longer survive. The Normandy Oaks Golf Course Task Force has recommended options such as a water park,soccer field, running/biking path. The city will be requesting voter approval to sell 10 acres of the property to pay for the new facility. A question from the audience asked about a bond or tax millage to pay for the upgrades. This issue is not being considered by the city as an option. Did you attend the meeting? What are your thoughts on the new facility and sale of property? A bond or millage to pay for the new facility as opposed to selling city property?
