Impact analysis
Giving away passes eats into golf revenue, which is why the cap exists — the course is valued at about $220 every 10 minutes.
Bangor-area nonprofits and school groups that will now have clear, published criteria for requesting donation passes.
Out-of-town groups and individuals seeking passes will be ineligible under the draft policy.
