Yes, the chief staff member of Planning and Zoning for Sumter County said this. This was after the period for public comment so no citizen had the opportunity to ask him if a retail store was actually an approved use at that site.
When you(they) say 8 acres, are you(they) referring to the entire CC property(i.e. all 27 holes, along with the CC), or just the CC itself? I ask because I am more concerned if they opt to convert or remove some golf courses?! That would be a trend that I would be disturbed about. Thanks, Nick!
