The subject site has a history and continues to be used as a golf and country club.
PPG GCF Orangebrook Owner LLC ("the Applicant") was selected as the successful respondent to the City of Hollywood's Request for Proposals issued in 2019 to form a public-private partnership ("P3") to redevelop the subject property including improvements to the existing facilities.
