PETERSBURG -- There wasn't an empty seat in Union Train Station
Tuesday night as more than 200 people came out to the regular City
Council meeting for a public hearing on a plan to use $4 million in
government loans to finance the reconstruction of Lee Park Golf
Course.
Two dozen residents spoke during the hearing, with only four
speaking in favor of the financing.
In the end, though, council voted 6-1 in favor of using $4 million
in three-year bond anticipation notes to pay for the course.
Councilwoman Joan Carter was the dissenting vote.
