My parents are residents of Riviera Golf Estates. They have told me of the possibility of the sale of the golf course to developers.
They have many concerns of how this will change their community. They are truly saddened that what they thought would be their retirement community could change, and that their over-55 lifestyle will never be the same. I have many concerns myself.
I wonder if it will still be the peaceful environment that it currently is. I wonder how developers can ruin a beautiful golf course, which my father enjoys playing with his grandsons, by filling in lakes, tearing down trees.
Commissioners should see what kind of effect this could have. Lifestyles of those who maybe cannot afford to move and who thought they would live out their retirement in a golf-course community will change forever.
And why? Because of the greed of certain people who have the ability to decide the fate of a wonderful community. I hope others will come forward in this fight to keep Riviera Golf Estates as is — a golf community.
