County moving to take golf course through eminent domain
“The Columbia County Board of Supervisors is considering eminent domain proceedings against Meadowgreens Golf Course, in order to take over 16 acres of property plus a 90-acre navigation easement for a runway protection zone at the Columbia County Airport.
Columbia County Assistant Attorney Chris Watz said that the county has not received a response to its offer of $629,000 for the land.
Watz told supervisors on the Economic Development Committee of the Board of Supervisors Monday that eminent domain would be the next step for the county to acquire the property. He said a public hearing would be needed.”
