County officials said they intend to transform this newly acquired Deer Run property into a public park, resulting in property tax bills of around $65 to 130 per year for neighboring homes over the next 15 years.
Seminole County also plans to continue normal operations at Wekiva Golf Club, the release continues.
The official adoption of these two properties, which includes a contract for acquisition and budget and funding requests, was passed on Nov. 9.
