The Board of Works on Wednesday unanimously named Arborwood LLC, better known as Shoup’s, to become the new management group for the Frankfort Commons Golf Course. The deal is for one year and begins in 2020.
Arborwood LLC will take over for Oliphant Golf Management, which has run the course for the past three years. Frankfort Mayor Chris McBarnes said the golf committee felt it was time for a local entity to try and run the golf course. McBarnes thanked Oliphant for its years of service.
The next step in this process is a public hearing on Wednesday, November 6, at 2 p.m. Once the public hearing is held, an agreement will need to be finalized.
