Last evening the Reno City Council acted to keep the public purchase option for the abandoned Northgate Golf Course moving forward and agreed to provide $6,000 for maintenance over the next 6 months.  The Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority closed the golf course and golf course operations in January of this year.

A group of area residents are working to establish a special assessment property tax district to cover the cost of the purchase of this property from it's current owner.  The purchase price for the property is $2.85 million and the proposed assessment district. would raise $2.0 million of the purchase price.  A request will be made to the Washoe County Commission to fund the remaining $850,000 required for purchase of the property.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this purchase.
