#232 Tim Caldwell, Friends of PT Golf Course
(Airdate: November 28, 2023) Maryanne interviews Tim Caldwell of the Friends of Port Townsend Golf Park. The issue of what to do with the acres of land under the Port Townsend Golf Course has rippled through the community for months. There are passionate supporters for a number of different scenarios. Some want nothing but a traditional golf course; others want multiple parks and mini-golf; and still others want housing on the land. There are other ideas floating around as well. The citizens’ group of “friends” is working towards a compromise that will hopefully include elements of most of the proposed ideas. Tim ran the PT Chamber of Commerce for years and knows most of the players well. He thinks this non-profit group can steer a course which will offer a blend of the best suggestions.
