Meeting on Aliso Creek planned
Athens Group will present a conceptual plan for redevelopment of the
Aliso Creek Inn and Golf Course at a town hall meeting planned from 7
to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the City Hall council chambers, 505
Forest Ave.
A previous Athens plan to expand the golf course into adjacent
wildlife preserve areas was opposed by many community members and
county officials.
John Mansour, Athens Group vice president, will present a
preliminary plan that reviews several issues affecting the property
and opportunities for improvement.
The preliminary plan is the result of many months of evaluating
the site, reviewing design options and meeting with members of the
community.
Interested persons can register to receive updates about plans for
the site by visiting o7www.alisocreekinnupdate.comf7 or by calling
(949) 499-9598.
