Jeremy B. put together a very solid grant proposal to the Parks Foundation. We asked for roughly $26k to install an 18 hole course in East Anchorage. Louie has also been participating on a committee for the Davis Park Master Plan. Although it looks good for a potential course at Davis Park, it is not yet confirmed or approved.

Since a potential course has not yet been approved by the city, we were not granted the funds. However, with Jeremy and Louie's dedicated time, they have put us on the radar with Parks and Rec. for wanting to put a course in on the east side of town. We will continue to work with the city on a potential course, it may not be Davis Park, but hopefully somewhere on the east side. So we will look to apply for a grant again next year.

A side note (to preempt any discussion of Where a course should go in), the east side needs a course, plain and simple. There are other potential sites, south side sports complex and Kincaid. But I believe we should focus on the east side first. It is best for the Anchorage community as a whole, and there is several good spaces to work with.

Thank you Jeremy and Louie for dedicating some of your personal time to this process!!
