'They stripped us of our rights.' Columbus resident, critic of Golden Park project speaks out

Among the more vocal critics of the Golden Park project in Columbus, Georgia is Pamela Moss.
She and a group of residents opposed to opening the commons to development have a Facebook group called “A Foul Ball for Columbus, Georgia,” where they post updates on their legal research and monitor the work that’s about to begin at the ball park.
Late on Feb. 28, 2023, during a grueling, hours-long Columbus Council meeting, councilors passed an obscure resolution that was not on their meeting agenda in two minutes and with no public discussion. The resolution asked the city’s representatives at the Georgia General Assembly to remove deed restrictions on the city’s South Commons, a swath of public property along the Chattahoochee River south of the Oglethorpe Bridge.
The resolution passed 9 to 1. Assuming city leaders had reached a consensus, legislators followed through on council’s request, passing a bill that Gov. Brian Kemp signed May 1, 2023.
Moss said she wants Columbus council to reverse itself and restore the South Commons restriction. The property should remain a park unless the voters decide otherwise, she said.
Of council’s February 2023 vote, she said: “They did that in secret: They stripped us of our rights.”
