Save Sand Lake Estuary

June 17, 2010 Update: 

The owner of the property had been advocating for a golf course & destination resort development.  There are rumors of a potential new development proposal and we will inform the public as soon as we have more information.

Previously owners of the property filed a Measure 37 claim for the property, alleging that the best use of the land is a golf course and hotel/condominiums.  Their claim, in front of the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners, was denied by a 2-1 vote.

The previous attempts at developing the land for a golf course resort were sponsored by major golf course developers and they failed to obtain local, state and federal permits and the development attempts failed.
