In the Wisconsin Dells area non- residents aggressively consume municipal services.  Wisconsin uses State income and sales tax to provide aid to the Wisconsin Dells area municipalities.  Wisconsin Dells area municipalities have formed a greater reliance upon property tax due to stagnant State aid revenue.  State of Wisconsin law makers have allowed municipalities in the Wisconsin Dells area to charge an additional sales tax called the premier resort tax.

With State aid payments to municipalities being stagnant and municipalities now under tight State imposed caps on property taxes - road construction projects are occurring primarily in the commercial district.  Much of the commercial district known as down town Wisconsin Dells will be blocked off from motorist travel while road construction is being performed.

This is difficult on independent business operators who survive on the summer tourist revenue.  The bulk of down town Wisconsin Dells business operators close for the Winter known as the off season.  A summer of limited revenue due to blocked roads with construction will result in some business operators leaving the down town Wisconsin Dells commercial district never to return.

The Village of Lake Delton has given 750 thousand dollars per building to Noah's Ark for the construction of 2 buildings to house J1VISA Program workers -for a total investment of 1.5 million dollars. .  This huge investment of public resources through the Village of Lake Delton demonstrates the J1VISA Program workers are being categorized as a visitor population served by the area.

The Wisconsin Dells community is overly dependent upon higher and higher numbers of J1VISA Program workers to economically function.  This means the local marketing principle has split and now requires promotional efforts designed to attract both visiting families and J1VISA Program workers.

Simply with the entry in to the Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II the standard approach to marketing has changed to focus on two aggregate categories rather than the traditional one.  Local principle marketing in the Wisconsin Dells area must now communicate on varied media levels to attract :

Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II - No Staff Big Problem

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. This is expected to attract large groups - residents are comparing it to the annual visitations of the past by the World Wide Church of God Gatherings in the Wisconsin Dells area.

The Wisconsin Dells area has no where near the population it will take to staff this new convention center.  The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives to property owners who build housing for temporary staff on their land.  These buildings supported by public resources are to house J1VISA Program staff who travel from out of the Country - in to the Wisconsin Dells area to work typically for about 3 months.

Competition in the Wisconsin Dells area during the summer season is extremely high for the J1VISA Program workers - there is just not enough to cover all the vacant positions.  This high cost of labor is a primary factor in the Wisconsin Dells area's huge lease failure rate.

The reason for tracking and recording data related to the operation of the new convention center has to do with the staffing variable.  Simply, what are the numbers of conventions turned away from the Kalahari Resort Convention Center facility due to the staffing deficit.  This is important given the huge investment of public resources by the Village of Lake Delton.

This data collection speaks to quality and functionality.  Without adequate staff the convention center - despite having the space to serve larger venues - may at times be required to turn them away due to lack of staff.   To maintain the quality of the convention experience the convention facility must not attempt to serve a group they lack the staff to properly accommodate.

When the convention facility is not serving larger groups due to staffing- the functionality related to capacity indicates the facility is performing below the desired standard.  This is a significant data track because the Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives for franchise hotel operators to locate in the area.  These franchise hotel operators being brought in to the area with the investment of public resources - are dependent upon the new convention center functioning at the high end of capacity to fill their vacant hotel rooms.

This at first will seem a bit intrusive - knowing that the staffing levels at the new Kalahari Resort Convention Center are being monitored.   It can prove helpful to understand the data is being utilized to assure higher numbered groups are being scheduled , properly served, and returning to the new convention facility.  The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.

The convention organizer represents large groups looking for a location to hold their event.  The convention organizer communicates with the  convention facility coordinator to negotiate the scheduling contract on behalf of the group.

The convention organizers are non-local group representatives that create a presentation of the area of the location to present as one of the options for scheduling their event to the group.  The event organizer usually has three options - different convention facility locations the group can pick from.

Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II - J1VISA Program Murder

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 Wisconsin Dells area lacks the hotel rooms to deliver the over night stays needed to properly serve this huge new Convention population.

The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives for franchise hotel operators who locate in the Wisconsin Dells area.  The Wisconsin Dells area lacks the population needed to staff the new convention center and the increased number of franchise hotels accepting financial incentives to locate in the area.

The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives for property owners who build housing for temporary work staff on their property.  These buildings are being constructed as housing for individuals coming to the area through the J1VISA Program.  The Wisconsin Dells area is completely dependent upon adequate numbers of J1VISA Program workers coming to staff the local business modals.

The Village of Lake Delton is providing public resources to private business to increase the number of visitors coming in to the Wisconsin Dells area.  The more people that come in to the area the more J1VISA Program staff required to properly serve them.  The more people you have in an area the more you need public service.

On March 30, 2019 at 322 Washington Avenue, Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965 J1VISA Program participant Fuad Pashayev stabbed  J1VISA Program participant Tetiana Huzhva to death.  Wisconsin Dells Police on Thursday April 4, 2019 while performing a welfare check discovered the dead body of Tetiana Huzhva.  Fuad Pashayev has been arrested and charged with first degree intentional homicide. There is a 2 year old daughter involved.

Tetiana Huzhva and her 2 year old daughter Sabina have family in Ukraine.  Transportation must now be coordinated to return Tetiana Huzhva's body and return the granddaughter Sabina to anxious family.  The Family of Fuad Pashayev now have a son set to spend the rest of his life in the United States prison system.  This situation has alerted the community to the huge number of essential tasks that fall completely outside of a police officers role.

Wisconsin Dells residents are suggesting the need for a culturally competent mental and social health employee to work with the police departments across the area.  This position would be a direct hire and work out of space in the new law enforcement location.  The employee would work side by side law enforcement.

The entire Wisconsin Dells area is grieving the loss of human life - and questioning how we can act to help prevent such an undesired situation from occurring again.  The community is praying sincerely for all involved.  Wisconsin Dells has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.

The size of the new population of visitors is expected to exceed the number of rooms available for over night stays in the Wisconsin Dells area.  The Village of Lake Delton has given 1.8 million dollars to a La Quinta Del Sol Hotel operator to locate along the Wisconsin Dells Parkway.  The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives to franchise hotel operators who locate in the Wisconsin Dells area.  Alcan Drive runs along the back side of the La Quinta Del Sol Hotel construction site.

With the growing population of visitors which will be accompanied by additional J1VISA Program staff coming for a temporary stay - the Village of Lake Delton is clearing land for a law enforcement building along Alcan Drive and Miller Drive.   Alcan Drive drive runs along the back side of the property being cleared for the law enforcement building.

With the new law enforcement building going up and the La Quinta Del Sol Hotel being constructed the Village of Lake Delton has approved funding (950K) to replace Alcan Drive.  The Replacement of Alcan Drive is scheduled for late April and will run in to early October.  The replacement of Alcan Drive will be a great benefit for the new law enforcement building which will be even closer to the Kalahari Resort Conventions Center.  The replacement of Alcan drive will be a great benefit for guests and staff who drive in and out of the new La Quinta Del Sol Hotel being constructed.

The investment of these resources can be viewed as additional support for the success of the Kalahari Resort Convention Center.  The Kalahari Resort Convention Center is the producer - expected to attract large populations like the Wisconsin Dells area used to experience annually with the World Wide Church of God Gatherings.

These changes are being called Stage II of the Convention Hosting Industry in the Wisconsin Dells Area.  This change is presently in the pre- buy in time period - meaning the local population has not yet agreed to the change and is not yet taking action to support the top down efforts.  Some may actually be denying it is taking place.

It will seem beneficial to allow the local population some extra room to voice their opinions and ideas without affecting the long standing relationship.  Everyone adapts to change in their own way and on their own schedule- and that should be ok.  Acknowledging these changes and talking about how the change is effecting individuals should not only be expected - but also seen as a normal part of adapting to the top down driven changes.

Wisconsin Dells Conventions Hosting Stage II is one of the digital assets being developed to support the success of the Kalahari Resort Convention Center.   The expectation is a stronger local economy through a diverse implementation of digital advertising promotions aimed at improving both the convention organizer's work and the individual attendee's scheduled stay in the Wisconsin Dells area.  This is at its roots place making activity - delivered through variations of devices utilized by the visiting population.  Community building across digital channels.

Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II The Big Story

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.  This effort is expected to attract a huge new population of shared customers in to the Wisconsin Dells Area.

The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives to property owners who construct housing for temporary staff on their land.  This is because the Wisconsin Dells area does not have anywhere near the number of workers needed to staff the business modals.  The Wisconsin Dells area is completely dependent upon the J1VISA Program to deliver the labor needed to maintain operation.

The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives for franchise hotel operators who locate in the Wisconsin Dells area.  The Village of Lake Delton has given 1.8 million dollars to the operator of a La Quinta Del Sol Hotel franchise to locate on the land near Scott Drive along the bridge over Dell Creek.  The additional hotel rooms are needed to demonstrate adequate space is available for over nights stays with the huge convention center attracting more and more people.

The Village of Lake Delton is clearing land along Miller and Alcan for a building that will place law enforcement closer to the huge new convention center.  As the visitor population increases so does the number of J1VISA Program workers - which means a greater need for law enforcement.  Managing a larger population requires more public services.

This is being called stage II of the convention hosting industry in the Wisconsin Dells area.  The big story is the top down effort at the local level to create economical growth.  This involves an attempt to re-populate the traditional commercial areas along the Wisconsin Dells Parkway with active business modals.

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 construct temporary housing on their land.

Noah's Ark has been given 750 thousand dollars for each individual building being constructed to house seasonal workers.  The two buildings will use 1.5 million dollars of public resources to begin construction.  The new project is expected to house 400 to 600 over night staff.  The plan includes a convenience store and onsite office space.

Noah's Ark is a well known outdoor water park that operates from Memorial day thru Labor day each year.  The Wisconsin Dells area is strongly dependent upon the J1VISA Program to staff their varied business modals.  This brings individuals from outside of the United States in to the Wisconsin Dells area to work.

A percentage of each of the J1VISA Program workers wage will contribute to the building and maintaining of these new seasonal housing construction projects.  These new housing projects must be populated to pay for the construction and maintenance.

To help assure the new housing being constructed is populated- expect to see stronger enforcement of ambiguous housing regulations crafted at the local level.  Property that for the longest time operated as a summer rental may be deemed unsafe for human occupancy - this reduces housing options.  Individuals staying for the summer to work will be encouraged to rent space in one of the new buildings being constructed.

The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.  The competition for seasonal labor is expected to increase with the change being created through these large investments of public money.

The Kalahari Resort Convention Center rests on a parcel of land close to Baraboo - between a small residential neighborhood and the interstate.  One family with plans to stay there for summer of 2019 vacation explained their reasons for going toward historic down town Baraboo - rather than the down town Wisconsin Dells area.

- Taking the back way from Kalahari Drive to Bunker Drive and down County Trunk A we find historic down town Baraboo to be closer than Wisconsin Dells down town - so less of a drive

- Historic down town Baraboo does not have the parking meters that down town Wisconsin Dells has - which charge one dollar per hour with collections agencies that follow you home.

- Historic down town Baraboo shops do not charge the aggressive extra 1.25 percent tax on each individual purchase like they do in down town Wisconsin Dells

- Historic down town Baraboo will not have road construction this summer like they will have in down town Wisconsin Dells which causes the longer - frustrating waits in traffic

The family explained how the kids found a secret passage off the Baraboo square near the Al. Ringling Theatre that delivers you to the rear in the alley.  The picture shows the secret passage the kids were describing.   The Mourning Hour is one of the movies that have been filmed at the Al Ringling Theatre in Baraboo.

Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II Deer Data

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 Kalahari Resort is located on property between a small residential neighborhood and the interstate.

This area was agriculture farm land and populated with wild deer.  Resort projects tend to purchase outlying rough land which is less expensive than the property along the parkway.  The deer can be seen grazing in the open fields toward the rear of the convention center construction project.

The (CWD) Chronic Wasting Disease - Deer and Predator Project began about 3 years ago.  About 200 deer are captured and collared each winter.  Along with this - coyotes and bobcats are captured and collared as well.  The goal is to track the animals and determine a cause of death.

Deer and coyotes seem to thrive in rough land areas where the human population increases.  This makes it possible for motorists traveling the roadways along the resort property to spot a deer or coyote wearing a collar.  The collar transmits data regarding the animals movement to a receiver.

Despite wearing a collar and being in close proximity to a resort area - the animals are wild and should not be approached.  The concern is physical harm or transmission of disease to the human.

The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.  Readers are invited to watch for future findings of the CWD- Deer and Predator Project being published.

Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II Research Team

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.  This is an add on to the original resort plan.  This is expected to attract a huge new population of shared customers in to the Wisconsin Dells area.

This research team is employing the place making process - connecting commercial clusters to decrease amusement burden within the Kalahari Resort where the new convention center is being constructed.  The convention center is expected to become operational in the last quarter of 2019.

This involves the implementation of a resource called an area specific online convention hosting industry site.  The Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB Stage II is an online site that will support the distribution of information published to improve the professionalism of the convention organizer and the over all experience of the convention attendee.

Embedded in the value added process will be information that promotes a visit to the historic down town Baraboo square during their scheduled convention stay.  This populates the historic down town Baraboo square with new visitors who can witness first hand how residents work, play, have fun, and profit while living in Sauk County.  This is place making- a proven community building use of resources necessary for the long term success of a geographical area.

The data collection area is a fixed location described as 3 concrete lanes that border the triangular land mass the statue rests upon in the historic down town Baraboo square.  The research team counts each individual person walking upon one of the 3 concrete lanes during a defined period of time.  This is an example that will be used for a baseline:

Wednesday April 3, 2019 for a one hour time period from 11:46am to 12:46 pm the research team recorded the presence of 23 people and one dog.  This is performed prior to the completion of the new Kalahari Resort Convention Center.   This will be a calculation used in comparison to data collected once the convention center becomes operational.

A positive impact would be indicated with an increase in the number of people in the fixed location after the convention center becomes operational.  This is a digital form of promotion that facilitates local solutions within emerging opportunities to foster a mutually beneficial outcome.

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 hope is the convention center will attract a large new population of shared customers in to the Wisconsin Dells area.

Lake Delton is about 267 acres of fresh water located in the heart of the Wisconsin Dells area.  The shoreline was traditionally populated with residential dwellings.  Many of the dwellings along the Lake Delton shoreline serve as a primary residence today.  Commercial seasonal business modals have also located along the Lake Delton shoreline.

Resort Operators, Condominium Developers, Hotel Owners, and Vacation Rental Agencies all participate in the summer tourist season along the Lake Delton shoreline.  A drive down the narrow roadways that circle the Lake show the viewer a diverse mix of residential and business property.

Events scheduled in the new Kalahari Resort Convention Center ( 212 thousand square feet) are expected to attract attendance that far exceeds the individual resorts over night room capacity.  This means many of the convention attendees will book with the Resort Operators, Condominium Developers, Hotel Owners, and Vacation Rental Agencies doing business along the Lake Delton shoreline.

This is expected to increase motorist utilization for the roadways that circle Lake Delton.  This higher number of motorists upon the road can be a change for the residents who live along the Lake Delton shoreline.   This will mean a louder call for traffic enforcement with the focus on roadway safety along the Lake Delton shoreline.  The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.

Lake Delton is about 267 acres of fresh water in the heart of the Wisconsin Dells area.  Many of the area resorts have hotel rooms available for over night stays on the shoreline of Lake Delton.  Since the flood of 2008 Lake Delton has been a good study location for those in the aquatic engineering profession.

The 267 acres of fresh water on Lake Delton is heavily utilized by visitors from June thru August.  This can require additional staff with proper equipment to keep the visiting population safe.  The roadways that weave motorists along the lake are expected to support additional traffic with more people coming to attend an event in the Kalahari Resort Convention Center being constructed.

The Kalahari Resort Convention Center is expected to be operational in the 4th quarter of 2019.  The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.
