Fall 2022 Project Update
It’s been almost a year since we came to the membership of Lake Forest with an exciting new initiative. We called it the Enduring Legacy Project because that best summarized the spirit of our commitment to improving all aspects of the family experience at LFCC.
The project was received with great enthusiasm and anticipation by our membership and our team here at Lake Forest hit the ground running with our plans, budgets, and timelines.
As General Manager of the Club, I’ve been responsible for much of the planning and execution of the Enduring Legacy Project. It’s been a challenging process with the state of the economy, the thin labor force, and the hyper-inflationary price environment we entered this past year, but all things considered we feel great about the direction we’re heading.
As you utilize the Club not much progress is visible yet. Whether you were swimming at the pool, playing a round of golf, or enjoying the dining facilities, you may be wondering what’s been done up to this point.
To date, considerable work has gone into the planning, pricing, permitting, repricing, and logistics of the project. Now we’re entering the exciting phase where we get to execute and see the progress with our own eyes.
I’d like to share this message from Jay Arnold, our Long Range Planning Chairman, with updates about progress on the Enduring Legacy facility enhancement project and our plans moving forward.
