Tom Dyas says if he is elected mayor in October he would fight to save 麻豆精选 Springs Golf Course from being 鈥渢urned into warehouses.鈥
Team Dyas released a statement Tuesday (July 26), a day after city council voted 4-3 to reconsider its earlier decision to designate the property as future industrial land in the 2040 Official Community Plan (OCP).
鈥淩esidents have told me that they expect their next mayor to fight to save 麻豆精选 Springs, and that鈥檚 what I will do,鈥 said Dyas.
During Monday鈥檚 council meeting, Mayor Colin Basran pointed out that the owners of 麻豆精选 Springs approached city staff regarding a possible land designation change to commercial or industrial, with the expectation they were going to cease operating.
The golf course was identified as a major opportunity for new industrial development by the city in 2020.
