CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
To the City Council, City of ~1Pridian:
On behalf of the Board of nirectors of the Meridian Chamber of Commerce,
the follo~~ing resolution is offered: --
Regarding the Council decision to reject the Cherry Lane golf Course as
a municipal project, we ask the Council to review and reconsider. lJe
recognize that given the facts on hand, the action of the Council was
reasonable and prudent; however, it appears that new developments would
support a reconsideration.
As spokesmen for the business community of Meridian, ~•re feel that a
municipal golf course tivould be a valuable asset to the community and
a most necessary part of any proposal to induce new industrial develop-
ment. With leisure time activities being high on the list of priorities
for corporate executives making location decisions, golf course avail-
ability is prime. If Meridian is to become attractive to industry, we
must satisfy these priority requirements.
It is our feeling that, while immediate financial consideration of a
project is important, so also is consideration of the total worth to
the community, in both short and lone term contribution.
For these reasons we ask that the Council reevaluate all pertinent facts
and reconsider its position on this issue.
Respectfully,
~~~~-~'
