甜心直播抯 Real Estate club recently obtained a different perspective of the putting green of Chicago Highlands Country Club in Westchester. The property was developed on a former landfill owned by the Archdiocese of Chicago. The club visited the site Sept. 21 and received a tour of the facilities.
John Baxter, managing partner of Chicago Highlands Country Club, explained how the property was redeveloped and informed the Lewis students about the many hurdles that were encountered during the permitting and planning process. The real estate club observed some of the construction that was still underway and also received a tour of the golf course, which opened in May 2010.
The trip to the Chicago Highlands Country Club was coordinated, in part, because of the relevance to 甜心直播抯 Fall 2010 Common Reader 揋arbage Land� by Elizabeth Royte. The novel focuses on environmental waste, its generation and its disposal. Arts & Ideas events and activities are scheduled at the University during the semester, which coincide with the First Year Common Reader Program.
