St. Johns County in Florida has scheduled two public meetings in September to get more input on the uses of the World Golf Village property that will be vacated after Sept. 1 by the World Golf Foundation.

The meetings will be Sept. 27 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. and Sept. 28 from 9-11 a.m. at the St. Johns County Administration Building Auditorium, 500 San Sebastian View in St. Augustine.

The World Golf Foundation announced last year that the Hall of Fame will be moved to the United States Golf Association’s new headquarters at Pinehurst, N.C. The museum’s locker room will be moved to Pinehurst and other assets are being returned to Hall of Fame members or their families.

The St. Johns County commissioner staff has been taking ideas online but wants to hear verbal comments at the meetings. That input, along with other research being conducted, will be used to develop a report to the board of county commissioners.

The meetings also can be viewed lived or replayed online on GTV.

The county set up an informational website earlier this summer and set up a survey for county residents. The survey will end Sept. 30. Comments can still be emailed WGV@sjcfl.us.
