Howard to transfer money from Village Green Golf Course to support Howard Commons Activity Complex
HOWARD – The Village Board will use funds from the Village Green Golf Course to make up for losses at the Howard Commons Activity Complex.
The Howard Village Board approved transferring $223,000 from the golf course on Monday night. The board amended the resolution and added an additional $20,000 for a total $223,000 to give the Howard Commons “a little bit of a boost” in addition to offsetting the previous losses, said Burt McIntyre, Village Board president.
The village has projected the $17.5 million Howard Commons will lose $27,400 in 2025, according to the budget. The facility lost over $127,000 in 2024, and it hasn’t turned a profit since it opened in August 2023.
On Monday, the board voted 8-1 to approve a resolution that would offset the Howard Commons’ losses with money from the golf course, with board member Maria Lasecki as the lone dissenting vote. The golf course reported a record net income in 2024, according to the resolution’s report. In 2024, the golf course’s operating revenue was over $969,700, according to the 2025 budget.
The transfer to Howard Commons would “cover losses to date and replenish cash from a negative balance of $203,000 to a balance of zero,” the resolution states.
The major project that the golf course needs to fund is replacing the restaurant’s hood so the money to transfer to the Howard Commons is available, according to the resolution report.
This week, the village announced 15 bands will play at the Rock the Commons series from May through September in the amphitheater.
