The head of Anne Arundel’s county government wants the Navy to allow the county to manage Greenbury Point as a conservation area, rather than moving forward with a proposal to build a golf course for the U.S. Naval Academy.
County Executive Steuart Pittman , in a letter dated Wednesday, said he shared the concerns expressed by members of the community and environmental organizations over a proposal to build a second course across the Severn River from the academy that would serve midshipmens’ sporting programs, active and retired military personnel, and members of the public.
Opponents, including more than two dozen environmental groups, have asked the Navy to kill the idea, saying another golf course would pollute the Chesapeake Bay at a time when efforts to improve the bay’s water quality are falling short. They also argue the proposal would destroy habitat for birds and wildlife and further reduce public access to the water.
