Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II Mixed Use

The Village of Lake Delton has given the Kalahari Resort 10 million publicly collected dollars to build a convention center ( 212 thousand square feet) capable of serving large regional - national groups. The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives to place franchise hotel operators in the Wisconsin Dells area.  The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives to property owners for the building of temporary employee housing.  Expect to see the community begin to respond to these changes that have been called stage II of the convention hosting industry.

We will start to see near by buildings adapt to these changes by promoting a mixed use approach.  Existing facilities like the Poppy Waterman Ice Arena may promote the availability of space for groups looking to conduct a dog show, or a camper show, for example.  This adaptation to the change created with the construction of a huge convention center capable of serving large regional - national groups can be characterized as placemaking activity.

By employing mixed use to expand hours and increased occupancy to an existing building like the Poppy Waterman Ice Arena - this causes greater utilization of a resource that can only mean more value for the surrounding community.   Leveraging the building space to bolster utilization and delivering a stronger contribution to the local economy. The fabric of the local economy is benefitting while communicating the greater Wisconsin Dells area can be a great place to live, work, and visit.

The Wisconsin Dells area is in stage II of the convention hosting industry.  Expect existing buildings to employ a mixed use approach to procure additional revenue across a new population of shared customers.  These opportunities are efficiencies that create larger benefit for the consumer population exploring options within the changing geographical area.
