WELLINGTON VILLAGE HALL
12300 FOREST HILL BLVD
You are urged to attend this meeting at which decisions will be made on:
1. The Equestrian Village project.
The Council will be voting on whether or not the existing equestrian venue (dressage and derby) will be granted a permanent approval for year-round use. This venue is entering its third year of operation with no problems. The council revoked its approvals in 2012 and litigation ensued. An approval of the project without unreasonable conditions will settle the litigation. If approvals are granted, then the venue will be made available to charities 30 days annually.
2. World Equestrian Games.
The Council will decide if they will support the efforts of Equestrian Sport Productions to host the 2018 World Equestrian Games (WEG) sanctioned by the Fédération Equestre Internationale. WEG would bring an estimated $250 million into the local economy. Attached is information about WEG.
The public will be allowed to speak at the meeting as well as submit comment cards that are read aloud.
The past 18 months have seen a lot of animosity and divisiveness in the Village. There are signs from many involved that conciliation is possible through these two issues.
You are encouraged to attend the meeting and express your support for these two items and for all parties to work together for the benefit of Wellington.
