I coached with Pat Herrity for a few years and we were two of the founding partners of PIHI (in line hockey league). Anyone you know meeting with him?

Nope. Saw it posted on a group page on Facebook, think it's called Virginia Bass League. Have you heard anything about this?

Have not heard a thing. Odenkirk might know something.

Update:

Feb 14, 2015 — We hosted a community meeting on February 12th with Pat Herrity and Park Authority representatives in attendance.

There are a multitude of concerns regarding the content of this unsolicited proposal and of the review process as well. We are extremely concerned that the original changes outlined in the Park Authority’s master plan, have evolved from a modest “upgrade” to a massive bar/restaurant with an amusement park-like atmosphere. This will impact the peaceful and serene nature of Burke Lake, and is not in keeping with the character of the park, or with the expectations of the citizens who use it. In addition, the proposal changes a family-friendly driving range and golf course into a golf-themed bar and adult party environment. While Supervisor Herrity and the Park Authority have acknowledged that they have heard our concerns, it is important that we continue to be vigilant to make certain that this proposal by KC Management is rejected.

Done!

Feb 23, 2015 — "I am pleased to report that both the Park Authority and I agree that it is clear we will not be able to reach an agreement on the unsolicited proposal that will address our concerns and the Park Authority has informed the project's proposer that they will not be moving forward with the proposal."
