Description
Basically no one wants to keep a golf course on those 155 acres of open space in Northeast Park Hill, but that poses a big question: What do we want? Should we restrict development, as former mayoral candidate and open spaces advocate Penfield Tate argued on the show last week, or should we aim for a new kind of people-first development? That’s the case today’s guests are here to make. In part two of our series on the PHGC development fight, host Bree Davies sits down with the developers who own the land: Kenneth Ho, principal with Westside Investment Partners, and Norman Harris, co-founder and managing partner with The Holleran Group.
