Hollydale Golf Course: The Complex Road to Redevelopment Approval
The redevelopment of any large land area can be very difficult to accomplish, especially when it is surrounded by homeowners who like the status quo. This is especially true when the conversion involves a golf course: pastoral, quiet, well-landscaped (maybe a few stray golf balls). The surrounding landowners (most often homeowners) understandably love the open space, the seasonal nature of the sport and the relative quiet they experience as a neighbor. However, the redevelopment of golf courses has been occurring with some regularity for the past 20 years throughout the country as demographics and loyalty to the sport has changed. Throughout Minnesota, and certainly throughout the metro area of Minneapolis-St. Paul at least a dozen golf courses have been closed and redeveloped, sometimes multiple courses in the same city.

Larkin Hoffman's Government Relations Team Releases Guide to Federal Funding for Nonprofits and Government Entities
The United States House of Representatives announced a new era for congressional influence over how the federal government spends some of the $1.4 trillion in discretionary spending approved every year. As of today, the Senate has not yet announced its plan but both chambers are in negotiations to implement this in a transparent and responsible way. The House plan calls for resurrecting earmarks in the form of “Community Project Funding.” Earmarks are targeted spending projects that individual lawmakers can insert into large spending bills without a direct vote to deliver something to the lawmaker’s home district. The idea is that the members have first-hand knowledge of their community needs and can work to directly help organizations deliver those services.
