Staples Golf has been awarded the design contract for the project. Representatives of the design firm and city staff members will be available to answer questions and answers about the project.
Citizens can attend any time from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday and visit directly with the representatives. Staples Golf was recently awarded the design contract by the Sidney City Council for the proposed $1.2 million irrigation improvement project. Voters authorized funding for the project in the November general election. The project design has begun immediately and will include implementation of a new irrigation system and reconstruction of the reservoir, with other minor improvements. Construction on the project is scheduled to begin in mid-summer following the bidding process. Play at the course will continue to work around the project's construction in late summer and fall. It is hoped the project will be completed and operational when the course opens for the Spring 2014 season. Staples Golf also developed the 2012 Master Plan for Hillside Golf Course.
