Daily News | Philly City Council is reconsidering environmental restrictions on Cobbs Creek Golf Course redevelopment
a private nonprofit undertaking a $65 million renovation of the city-owned Cobbs Creek Golf Course from a city environmental law designed to prevent erosion.
Szmulowicz noted that the foundation previously applied for a zoning permit to cut 108 acres of trees on the slopes but was denied. It later withdrew the application. Henry Davis, a member of the Eastwick Friends and Neighbors Coalition, also spoke against the exemption. Enrique Hervada, chief operating officer for the Cobbs Creek Foundation, speaking in favor of an exemption, told Council that the golf course, which opened in 1916 and is in the National Black Golf Hall of Fame, was “literally was falling into a creek” and that the renovation is being done “with no cost to the city.”
