80 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 9 explains. “We’re talking about a PGA-certified course. The city has agreed to invest $6M and it will be operated by a premier golf development company called Landscapes Unlimited (LU), who were involved with Torrey Pines in San Diego. They’ll actually be working alongside Ric Buckton, another renowned golf developer, and we’re just thrilled to have them as partners.” Years ago, the city attempted to rehabilitate the old Evergreen Point golf course through a voter initiative, but it was defeated by less than 60 votes. So, they decided to preserve the property and look for a more bespoke solution. “Now we have one,” Davis says. “We believe we’re going to have a destination golf course that people from all over the globe are going to want to come to. It’s the first of its kind in the world. It’s so unique that they’re filming a six-part documentary series that will be sent to national and regional sports networks.” Leading Higher Education Innovation in Challenging Times • online degree planning and auditing for students to stay on track and graduate on-time • advisor appointment scheduling for comprehensive student support • virtual access 24/7/365 to physical and mental health care provided to every student RESULTS: Highest Enrollment in the 88-year History of the College. lee.edu “We chose to see the challenges presented by the pandemic as opportunities to reinvent the student experience at Lee College, to eliminate as many barriers as possible for students to succeed, and to grow our footprint in the communities we serve.” – Dr. Lynda Villanueva , Lee College President aa/eeo
