Cap City Savvy

I rode my bike past the site this weekend to lay my own eyes on it…

I also swung by the Metro Parks booth at RiverFest and asked a few more questions about the rest of the development.  Here are my mental notes:

- The idea of a 6 hole golf course is still being kicked around, but won’t be done for awhile since the impound lot relocation will take a few more years.  The thought is that it will be a “green” golf course, which sounded silly until I was told that golf courses put a big strain on the environment (fertilizer, pesticides, water consumption, deforestation, etc…).  Could be a fun twist.

- Fun Fact: The Audubon Center is largely funded by a donation from Grange Insurance.  The CEO of Grange Insurance is named “Urban”.

- You can buy an engraved brick paver for the new Audubon Center for $250.

- I’ve also got some nice renderings in a brochure that I’ll scan in and post up in the next couple days.
