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 for property owners who build housing for temporary staff on their property.
The Village of Lake Delton has given Festival Fun Parks ( Noah's Ark Waterpark) 750 thousand dollars for each building being erected to house temporary staff. This is a reactive action by the Village of Lake Delton to prevent business owners from utilizing hotel space to house their temporary staff that come to the Wisconsin Dells area through the J1VISA Program.
As area resorts began to serve most of the over night visitors - the hotels along the Wisconsin Dells Parkway struggled. The Village of Lake Delton began to block the sale of hotel properties along the Wisconsin Dells Parkway if the new owner planned to use the land and buildings to provide housing for temporary work staff. The Village of Lake Delton wanted to maintain the high commercial assessed tax value - while the hotel owner lacking over night guests and a real estate buyer fell further behind.
Feeling stuck the hotel owners ran to water park and resort business modals asking them to assume operation of their failing hotel. Feeling an obligation to help out their fellow community members - the water park and resort business modals stepped in and took over the operation of their hotels to help keep the community a float.
Commercial business modals now seem to be clustering along the Interstate where the Wisconsin Dells Greyhound Race Track I-90/94 (Exit 92) and Highway 12. once stood. The Wisconsin Dells Greyhound Race Track operated in the early 1990's for a short time.
A large portion of the Wisconsin Dells Parkway is utilized as parking stalls for summer attractions. Families park as they participate in the summer attractions like the Water Parks, Duck Rides, Water Ski Show and more. Despite the Village of Lake Delton declaring the Wisconsin Dells Parkway frontage as high value property - businesses like the Kalahari Resort chose to develop on a less regulated - lower cost tract of land. Business changes - commercial clusters move.
The Kalahari Resort Convention Center is located on a parcel of land between a residential neighborhood and the interstate. The community is hoping the convention center will be operational within the last quarter of 2019.
