Golf course and airport sustainability
Summary
The golf course gets about 21% of its budget subsidized (roughly $312,000) and the airport about 69% ($209,000 from solid waste plus $59,000 from CIP). With liquor store revenue flat, its transfers to the golf course are drying up — so expect higher golf fees and no youth scholarship program next year.
