What Could Possibly Be New In Wisconsin Dells?

What is new in Wisconsin Dells begins with the huge convention center at the Kalahari Resort getting set to open.  The Village of Lake Delton contributed 10 million publicly collected dollars to construct this huge new space.  The convention center is expected to attract large crowds like the Wisconsin Dells area used to serve with the annual World Wide Church of God conventions in the 1970's.

This includes the Village of Lake Delton providing financial incentives for franchise hotel operators to locate in the Wisconsin Dells area.  The new Staybridge is open, the Wintergreen has upgraded to Clarion, and the La Quinta Del Sol franchise hotel is being constructed along the Wisconsin Dells parkway.  These hotel modals will assure the availability of rooms for over night stays with the huge crowds occupying the new convention center at the Kalahari Resort.

To staff the new convention center and the many franchise hotels the Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives to property owners who construct new housing for the J1VISA Program workers who come from outside of the Country to live in Wisconsin Dells and assist with tourism efforts.  The Wilderness Resort buildings are complete and occupied.  The Hiawatha buildings are complete and occupied.  The Lake Avenue buildings that will be home to 600 work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Programming are being constructed.  The Wisconsin Dells area is now home to more than 4500 work experience travelers who come from outside of the country to help with local tourism efforts.

To properly serve the huge new crowds gathering at the Kalahari Resort Convention Center and the additional work experience travelers coming from outside of the Country to live in the Wisconsin Dells area the Village of Lake Delton is constructing a large new Police Station.  This new Police Station is being built on Alcan and Miller which will be closer to the new convention center. The Village of Lake Delton has approved funding to replace Alcan drive which will prove beneficial as the Village Attorney, Clerk, and Engineer are working to have additional nearby lots vacated and combine the entire geographical area in to one parcel of land.  With the large new population occupying the convention center and the influx of more J1VISA Program work experience travelers the need for more public services like law enforcement is essential.

This is what is new in the Wisconsin Dells area.  These changes are being called stage II of the convention hosting industry.
