BENSENVILLE, Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) --The Bensenville Park District has withdrawn a proposal to sell a large portion of the White Pines golf course for redevelopment and will instead consider a $20 million tax-increase request to pay for a new clubhouse.
The Daily Herald reported that the district had spent months considering a potential sale of the golf course land.
The idea met resistance from golf course neighbors. "There is a very real threat of destroying the residential fabric of our town," Johnson told the Daily Herald.
The question now is whether residents will be willing to pay for golf course improvements through a property tax increase.
