The Woodland Creek Golf Course wetland restoration project is now out for bid on behalf of the State agency overseeing the work. The completion date is July 1, 2017. The work is expected to start in the fall of 2016 and continue into the spring of 2017. (Building) Mr. Dickinson stated the City has permitted 50 new homes so far this year.
