Our perspective

What we see depends mainly on what we look for. Sir John Lubbock

As free citizens in a political democracy, we have a responsibility to be interested and involved in the affairs of the human community, be it at the local or the global level. Paul Wellstone

Eagan voters to decide whether to buy Carriage Hills Golf Course

Eagan voters will decide whether to buy the former Carriage Hills Golf Course or let a developer build houses on it as part of a lawsuit settlement approved by the City Council Tuesday night. Eagan voters will decide whether to pay $10.25 million to buy the former Carriage Hills Golf Course at a referendum in November. The golf course has been the subject of a lengthy court case filed in 2004 by developer Wensmann Realty, which wants to build houses on the land, against the city, which has fought to preserve the course as green space. In a unanimous vote Tuesday night, the Eagan City Council approved a contingent settlement that will allow voters to choose between buying the land to preserve it and letting the land be developed.
