This is a chronological listing of the unfolding of the benefits the World Famous Wisconsin Dells area is experiencing from the chronic use of tax incremental districts to subsidize business development.
1. Implementation of tax incremental districts enable City of Wisconsin Dells and Village of Lake Delton acting administrators to divert public money collected for the needs of the residents - and gift it to private business operators under the pretense of growing the local economy.
2. The foundational mis-perception declaring that the small rural summer resort community of Wisconsin Dells is now a year round tourist destination - is parroted throughout the area.
3. This is occurring all while the existing consumer base is shrinking - meaning the Wisconsin Dells area is experiencing a decrease in annual tourist visitation numbers.
4. The Wisconsin Dells area community planners acknowledge a much higher than normal business lease failure rate - due to the high cost of importing our labor from outside of the Country.
5. The consumer base is flat - fixed and the tax incremental districts have been just shifting the flow of the existing number of annual visitors - and not really bringing more tourists in to the Wisconsin Dells area.
6. The Wisconsin Dells area community planners now recognize newer business modals being created with public funds through the tax incremental districts are just drawing consumers off the existing operating businesses - this is impoverishing the older operating businesses across the area.
7. In Down Town Wisconsin Dells the Timber Falls Mall with five store fronts are purposely demolished - leaving a large vacant lot. The Rocky Rococco Restaurant and A and W Restaurant building is purposely demolished leaving a large vacant lot.
8. Wisconsin Dells area community planners acknowledge the giving of this publicly collected money to private business operators seems to be discouraging economic activity in other parts of the local economy.
9. Area residents have concluded that the Wisconsin Dells chronic use of tax incremental districts to deliver financial incentives to private business operators is not actually spurring economic growth.

Wisconsin Dells New High School Chronic Local Biz Subsidies Impoverish Area
The City of Wisconsin Dells and the Village of Lake Delton have received an extension from the State of Wisconsin on their (TID) Tax Incremental Districts. This will enable the continuation of local targeted economic development subsidies. This means the City of Wisconsin Dells and the Village of Lake Delton divert public money collected for the needs of the residents and give it to special selected private business operators in the area.
The net effect of targeted economic development subsidies in the Wisconsin Dells area has been negative. This is important for families who would consider the idea of moving into the Wisconsin Dells area with the building of the new high school facility. Many of the local incentivized business modals under perform because they have been talked into locating in a less than ideal setting.
The construction of new incentivized buildings comes at a cost of higher taxes for residents and a reduction in public services - which has discouraged economic activity in other parts of the local Wisconsin Dells economy. The Wisconsin Dells area lacks the population to staff these large incentivized business modals requiring the residents to contribute to the building of new housing for staff to come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Immigration Programming and temporarily live in the area to support the local tourism efforts.
The City of Wisconsin Dells carries such a high municipal debt load - business operators asking for financial subsidies must accept the conveyance of public land instead of the past generous giving of sums of money. Municipal budgets are tight and public services are being spread thinly providing more evidence the chronic giving of municipal incentives to private business operators have not worked as expected and are further depressing Wisconsin Dells area economic activity.
Families considering a move in to the Wisconsin Dells area for the new high school building are being encouraged to be mindful of the added expense and diminished quality of community services being persistently imposed by the local administration's ongoing diversion of public resources as a subsidy - financial aid, to private business operators.

Lake Delton Selects For High End Attraction Incentive Program Behind Closed Doors
In the Village of Lake Delton Wisconsin on Friday November 15, 2019 at 11am a special meeting was held to consider an application submitted to receive publicly collected funds through the High End Attraction Incentive Program.
Adjourn to closed session, to discuss an application for high-end Attraction Incentive, pursuant to Section 19.85 (e) Wis Stats, deliberating or negotiating the purchasing of public properties, the investing of public funds, or conducting other specified public business, whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session
The acting administration utilizes Section 19.85 (e) Wis Stats - to assure selection to receive these free funds is done behind closed doors. This limited access to the process used for selecting the recipients for the free money - leaves the area business community questioning the fairness.

Wisconsin Dells Residents Step In To Help The Large Resorts Who Are All Struggling
The Village of Lake Delton has started the High End Attraction Incentive Program. This diverts public money collected for the needs of the residents and gives it to the private resort business operators to update and improve their attractions and amusements.
The giving of publicly collected money out to the private business operators in the Wisconsin Dells area lacks the transparency required to demonstrate existing municipal administrators are being good stewards of the communities scarce public resources. The Village of Lake Delton has a history of diverting huge sums of publicly collected money and giving it to select private business operators under the pretense of growing the local economy.
The family who operates the Kalahari Resort needed 10 million publicly collected dollars to build the new convention center. The family who operate Noah's Ark needed 1.5 million publicly collected dollars to build housing for their temporary work staff to live in for the summer season. The family operating the La Quinta Del Sol Hotel has received 1.8 million publicly collected dollars.
The Wisconsin Dells area has been lacking the promotional applications needed to attract new audiences in to the area. This means the consumer base has remained fixed -flat. When you supply private business operators with public resources the newer buildings are shifting the flow within the existing consumer base - meaning the newer business modals are drawing consumers from the other area business operators.
When a newer business modal supported by free money from the Wisconsin Dells area residents is grabbing customers from nearby operating business's there is no real economic growth. The Wisconsin Dells area needs innovative applications that strengthen the promotional capacity capable of growing the existing consumer base.
Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB is a community partner working to expand promotional communication to grow the existing consumer base by developing new audiences - who will want to visit the small rural summer resort area. The work of the Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB is an essential part needed for the Wisconsin Dells area residents to earn a return on these hefty investments of scarce community resources.

BID Role Reduce Barriers to Trade Wisconsin Dells Commercial District
Property owners are questioning the role of (BID) Down Town Wisconsin Dells Business Improvement District Committee in reducing barriers to interaction and trade in the commercial district during the months from April 15th to September 15th. Members of the Wisconsin Dells community have agreed to allow the collection of the premier resort tax at the higher allowable level for the needs of the residents.
Wisconsin Dells is a small rural summer resort community - with the bulk of the financial transactions taking place in the Down Town Wisconsin Dells commercial district during the months from April 15th to September 15th. The past two summers the Down Town Wisconsin Dells commercial district has performed very poorly due to the extensive road construction that blocked consumer access to the store fronts during the short summer tourist season.
The coming year 2020 is expected to bring an extensive construction project from Elm Street to Cedar Street with the transformation of the Chalet building in to the Wizard Quest attraction. Community members are questioning the role the (BID) Down Town Wisconsin Dells Business Improvement District Committee will provide to demonstrate evidence of interventions delivered to reduce the barriers to interaction and trade the Chalet project could create during the short tourist season from April 15th to September 15th.
Simply- what steps will the (BID) Down Town Wisconsin Dells Business Improvement District Committee be taking to assure financial transactions for the near by business operators will not be disrupted with the Chalet construction project scheduled to begin in the year 2020. Does the Down Town Wisconsin Dells Business Improvement District Committee bear any responsibility in assuring the commercial district is suitable for tourist visitation from April 15th to September 15th.

Wider City Wisconsin Dells Boundaries More People to Count 2020 Federal Census
Since 2010 the City of Wisconsin Dells has annexed additional geographical areas which expanded the legal boundary. This adding the surrounding area to the City of Wisconsin Dells should increase the population count for the Federal 2020 Census process.
City of Wisconsin Dells residents expect a higher population calculation with the 2020 Federal Census Process due to the adding of more geographical areas in to the City by expanding the boundaries.
The Wisconsin Dells area is home to more than 4500 work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Immigration Programming to temporarily live and help support local tourism efforts. Unfortunately being from outside of the Country, the more than 4500 individuals should not be counted with the 2020 Federal Census process.
Wisconsin Dells area residents have committed publicly collected money to construct new housing for the J1VISA Programming population - to help subsidize the private resort operators. Some view the diverting of public money from the needs of residents to support private resort business modals controversial, others call it the Wisconsin Dells area's commitment to the future of the tourism industry.
With the City of Wisconsin Dells annexing additional land masses in to the new legal boundaries, the residents expect the Federal 2020 Census process to result in an increased population.

Service Coordination Hot New Biz Modal In Wisconsin Dells 2020
The hot new business modal for 2020 in the Wisconsin Dells area is service coordination. Service coordination is about employing local business products to create a gathering that populates a geographical location - and results in stronger annual profits for the entire Wisconsin Dells area.
Service coordination is performed by stand alone business modals often called:
- Event Planner
- Convention Organizer
- Fund Raiser
- Community Festival Liaison
Service coordination improves utilization numbers for the large building space often vacant throughout the Wisconsin Dells area. The Wisconsin Dells Administration will begin to tailor their activity to amend existing regulatory codes in a manner that favors the professional practice of service coordination. This enables broader participation with local business providers and lifts the entire Wisconsin Dells area in to stage II of the convention hosting industry.

Raising Visitation Calculations Above the Existing Consumer Base - Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB
Wisconsin Dells Convention HUB is a long term intervention designed to raise visitor calculations above the existing consumer base. This is being called - developing new audiences for the Wisconsin Dells area.
The Wisconsin Dells area has constructed several new buildings and added more attractions and amusements only to serve the existing consumer base. The new buildings and amusements shift the flow within the existing consumer base - meaning the more recent business modals grab a higher percentage of the existing area consumers - pulling off of nearby business providers.
Wisconsin Dells Convention HUB is an intervention at the community level implemented to raise annual visitor calculations above the existing consumer base - demonstrating true economic growth for the area. From the perspective of the entire Wisconsin Dells community you want to see all business modals serving additional consumers - rather than a newer business modal maintaining operation by pulling customers from a nearby business provider.
By developing new audiences - Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB is adding to the existing consumer base - inflating visitor numbers that will require business modals to be open longer hours and serve more people. This applies directly to the commerce needed to demonstrate evidence of real economic growth for the Wisconsin Dells area.

Off Season Hard On 3 Large Projects Competing For Scarce Wisconsin Dells Area Public Resources
Three large projects are competing for scarce community resources in the Wisconsin Dells area. The 3 large projects are:
- Elm Street Outdoor Plaza
- Lake Delton Law Enforcement Building Alcan and Miller
- High School Along Rocky Arbor State Park
With annual visitation numbers down across the Wisconsin Dells area - and now being in the off season - access to community resources are very tight. The off season in the Wisconsin Dells area is a time period between September 15th to about April 15th.
During the off season more than 75 percent of the store fronts in the down town Wisconsin Dells commercial district close. This is due to the insignificant number of over night guests staying in the large resorts.
During the off season residents are exposed to additional voluntary taxes in the form of fund raisers. Some of the municipal departments will organize and conduct fund raisers to get them through the long off season- and keep the department operating.
Committee members working on the three large projects are now confronted with very limited resources - and will be required to share between projects in order to bring some form of completion to all of them.

World Famous Wisconsin Dells Area Extends TID's
The State of Wisconsin recently extended tax incremental district 3 for the Village of Lake Delton until the year 2042. The State also extended tax incremental district 4 for the Village of Lake Delton until the year 2044. Recall the Wisconsin Dells TID has been extended to the year 2045 by the State of Wisconsin.
The TID's effect all Wisconsin Dells over lapping taxing entities. The Tax Incremental Districts defer adding the value of any new development to the property tax base until the project funding is paid. The need to extend the TID's indicate the development did not perform financially as the speculative calculations indicated at the origin.
TID funded projects by design enable the Village of Lake Delton and the City of Wisconsin Dells to raise property taxes upon the residential land surrounding the proposed site of development. This leaves local residents struggling to pay higher amounts of annual property taxes - with no real change in expected service.
The Wisconsin Dells area being a small summer resort community experiences very minimal elevations in local wages. The work is seasonal and the wages paid depend upon tourist visitation. The Wisconsin Dells area lacks the resident population able to fill the jobs created within the project developments - this requires the community to fund new housing to attract more than 4500 work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Immigration Programming to temporarily live in Wisconsin Dells and support the tourism efforts.
The high cost adds to the difficulty required to attract the increased number ( more than 4500) of work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country -needed to staff the larger resort style delivery of service. The lack of staff who are not in Wisconsin Dells on a 90 day visa delivers a measurable dip in the level of service traveling consumers once expected of the Wisconsin Dells area. This contributes to a much lower number of annual tourist visitors - and a much higher than normal business lease failure rate across the Wisconsin Dells area.

Critical for Village Lake Delton To Extend TID's With Debt To New High School
The State of Wisconsin has extended the Village of Lake Delton TID 3 out to the year 2042. The State has also extended TID 4 out to the year 2044. The assessed value of the land before the tax increment district was created is considered the tax base.
What the land in the tax increment district is worth after the property is improved is the increment. The Village of Lake Delton realizes the municipality may use excess increments for more projects if the expenditure period has not expired. However - only projects in the approved plan may be paid with TID funds.
With the Village of Lake Delton needing money for their commitment to fund the new high school - expect the administration to complete a project plan amendment and submit it to the Department of Revenue. The project plan amendment will require a contract between the City of Wisconsin Dells and the Village of Lake Delton that describes the use of TID funds on legally acceptable expenditures in the construction of the new high school building.
These funds can be applied to infrastructure - but cannot legally be used for the new Wisconsin Dells High School building. The City of Wisconsin Dells Common Council will need to approve the contract that will essentially define the limit of the amount and the application of the fund. This will include the City of Wisconsin Dells commitment to fund their portion - about 4.5 million dollars.
This shifts some of the risk associated with not paying for projects by the time they were originally set to expire - over on to the property owners in the Wisconsin Dells area. Recall the City of Wisconsin Dells is a documented distressed tax incremental district - and their TID has been extended out to the year 2045.

Lake Delton Need To Extend TID Distresses Wisconsin Dells
The City of Wisconsin Dells can be considered a distressed TID Tax Incremental District and their TID needed to be extended out to 2045. The City of Wisconsin Dells and the Village of Lake Delton have always supported each other in the quest for economic growth.
The Village of Lake Delton has gone to the Governor of the State of Wisconsin who was able to sign Senate Bill 391 - now Act 21 which enables an extension for TID Tax Incremental District 3 until the year 2042. This also extends TID Tax Incremental District 4 until the year 2044.
An extension simply means the municipality has not received the aggregate tax increments that equal all the project costs under the administered project plan. It is when the TID is closed that the community taxing entities can begin to benefit from the project tax base and fund balance.
Recall that recently the Village of Lake Delton employed a controversial tax assessing organization to raise property taxes. The past raising of the property taxes to collect additional money was tax payers supporting the project costs.

Wisconsin Governor Extends Lake Delton Tax Incremental Districts
The Governor of Wisconsin has signed into Law Senate Bill 391, now Act 21- which extends the duration of tax incremental financing for Lake Delton in districts 3 and 4. This extends the life of these TID districts. TID 3 is extended to the year 2042. TID 4 is extended to the year 2044.
Tax incremental financing districts are subject to wide variation in design and interpretation. The Village of Lake Delton - enabled by State Legislation partners with private business operators to designate an agreed upon area as a TIF - tax incremental financing district. This includes calculating the amount of property tax revenue that the project will generate for the next 20 years or more.
The calculation of projected revenue includes taxes on the project itself as well as the expected tax increases on the other properties in the district - related to the increased assessed value due to the implementation of TIF. The money can then be sequestered to support the projects current needs and make development in the TIF district possible. This enables the Village of Lake Delton to compensate private developers for their investments.
With Lake Delton making up a large part of the greater Wisconsin Dells area - community planners are being challenged to demonstrate evidence that the extended use of TIF - tax incremental financing is delivering economic benefits to the entire area. This is tracking the economy wide benefits throughout the Wisconsin Dells area.
A key benchmark to an economy wide benefit would involve a larger population of residents in the off season. This simply means inhabited properties from September 15th to about April 15th. The larger population of residents helps off set the increased expense of attracting the more than 4500 work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country to temporarily live in the Wisconsin Dells area to support the local summer tourism efforts.
Tax incremental financing districts are subject to wide variation in design and interpretation. The Village of Lake Delton - enabled by State Legislation partners with private business operators to designate an agreed upon area as a TIF - tax incremental financing district. This includes calculating the amount of property tax revenue that the project will generate for the next 20 years or more.
The calculation of projected revenue includes taxes on the project itself as well as the expected tax increases on the other properties in the district - related to the increased assessed value due to the implementation of TIF. The money can then be sequestered to support the projects current needs and make development in the TIF district possible. This enables the Village of Lake Delton to compensate private developers for their investments.
With Lake Delton making up a large part of the greater Wisconsin Dells area - community planners are being challenged to demonstrate evidence that the extended use of TIF - tax incremental financing is delivering economic benefits to the entire area.

Hoping Large Permanent Festival Grounds Located In Lake Delton
City of Wisconsin Dells community planners are hoping a large permanent festival grounds can be located in the Village of Lake Delton. The Wisconsin Dells Down Town Business Improvement District Committee has been discussing this potential development in their meetings.
The Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau are working with the acting administration in the Village of Lake Delton to place a large permanent festival grounds within Lake Delton. This is expected to enable a more organized approach to the entire community earning a return from hosted events.
The cost of organizing, conducting, and cleaning up can be assigned to staff employed by the permanent site. Resources like extra police officers - additional garbage pick up- will have their own trade line on the contract the festival organizers must sign to assure payment.
Assigning festivals to a permanent site in Lake Delton alleviates the City of Wisconsin Dells with the ongoing consumption of scarce community resources to patch together a gathering. The challenge for the City of Wisconsin Dells will be to bring the (BID) Wisconsin Dells Down Town Business Improvement District Committee to a place where they can lean in and support the large permanent festival grounds in Lake Delton.

Help On Way For Struggling Wisconsin Dells Resorts
Visitation to the large resort style of service delivery in the Wisconsin Dells area has dropped annually. This is most recognized with the off season which runs from September 15th to April 15th. Due to the extremely low number of visitors staying over night in the large resorts more than 75 percent of the store fronts in the Down Town Wisconsin Dells commercial district close.
To compensate for the increasing drop in visitors to the Wisconsin Dells area resorts the Village of Lake Delton is creating the High End Attraction Incentive Program. This can be described as a local level political technique that diverts publicly collected money from being used on the needs of the residents - and gives it over to the private business operators in the Wisconsin Dells area resorts.
The Village of Lake Delton is hoping the resort operators use this money diverted from the needs of the residents to add and improve their attractions and amusements to attract more annual visitors. At the local level the politically elected officials have the perception that more and newer amusements and attractions will bring more tourists into the Wisconsin Dells area.
The Village of Lake Delton is firming up the process for the distribution of publicly collected money over to private business operators by amending Section 1. Amendments to Chapter 16 - Section 16.10 of the Village Municipal Code - adding subsection D - the high end attraction incentive program. Wisconsin Dells area private business resort operators are being encouraged to apply for this publicly collected money to add and improve the amusements and attractions upon their property.

Wisconsin Dells Wants Premier Resort Tax From Fee For Service Entertainment
The Wisconsin Dells area wants their premier resort tax from fee for service entertainment. Local bar, restaurant, and cafe's must charge their customers 6.75 percent sales tax on the food and beverages being sold. The 6.75 percent sales tax also applies to fee for service entertainment.
This simply means a bar and restaurant that hosts several live bands during the evening and charges a cover charge to help with the expense - is expected to collect the 6.75 percent sales tax. Local concerts, plays, live performances that charge the consumer to attend are expected to be collecting the 6.75 percent sales tax.
The premier resort tax is collected across the Wisconsin Dells area to support the needs of the residents. As Wisconsin Dells area business providers begin to host more live entertainment that contributes to the premier resort tax - expect to see fewer organized festivals.
Organized festivals with a not for profit structure compete directly with brick and mortar business providers - and avoid the contribution to the premier resort tax. The organized festivals are beginning to experience a much harder time with placing an event in the Wisconsin Dells area.

Wisconsin Dells Public Works Tasks Increase
The building of the new high school along Rocky Arbor State Park expands the City of Wisconsin Dells corporate boundary. The City of Wisconsin Dells is challenged to annex this geographical area - requiring the public works to provide maintenance service.
The City of Wisconsin Dells public works department is expected to serve a growing area with the existing labor and equipment. It is beneficial for the residents and the business owners of the Wisconsin Dells area to recognize the need for the public works department to reconfigure the current level of service to accommodate the additional geographical area.
The tight resources within City of Wisconsin Dells budgets means the public works department is doing more with less. This requires the public works department to shift labor from existing delivery toward the extra tasks created with the expansion of the added geographical area.
When you cover a larger geographical area with existing labor and equipment the level of service changes. This will be hard on individuals in the community who perceive this as a lack - and expect the service to return to a more comprehensive delivery.

B2B Gatherings Wisconsin Dells Wants Their Premier Resort Tax
In the past business operators would present their tax Id number to defer local added taxes. Today in the Wisconsin Dells area the local communities enforce a broader collection of transactions through the Premier Resort Tax.
Visitors are expected to pay a 6.75 percent sales tax on purchases and a 12.25 percent tax on over night lodging. Business to Business (B2B) gatherings in the premier resort tax area will experience stronger strategies to help assure cooperative contributing of the higher taxes.
Purchases made through organized gatherings in the convention center can require attending business operators to show the tax id number, the retail sales permit, and their area business permit. This is because both the business operator hoping to defer local taxes and the local business service provider carry a higher risk of IRS audit.
The Wisconsin Dells area wants the local business operators to be collecting the higher premier resort tax on all transactions for the purpose of funding the needs of the residents. The Wisconsin Dells area needs the extra money being collected from each individual financial transaction to maintain the essential public services expected of a community.

Wisconsin Dells Long Off Season Contributes To Impractical Local Policy
The off season in the Wisconsin Dells area is a time period from about September 15th to about April 15th. During this time period approximately 75 percent of the Down Town Wisconsin Dells store front operators close. This is due to the drastic drop in over night stays at the large Wisconsin Dells area resorts.
This is a difficult time for local level community planners who see how the lack of visitation can close a geographical area committed solely to the tourism industry right down. The drastic drop in financial transactions across the Wisconsin Dells area leaves local community planners with little or no actual resources that would allow their committee to continue to function.
The long time period of the off season in the Wisconsin Dells area can move community planning conversations away from the pragmatic action of caring for the resident population - over to fantasizing about future revenues that will come from Disney like interventions. This often includes unrealistic comparisons of the small rural Wisconsin Dells area to Cities that thrive with delivering tourism industry services but sorely lack in characteristics that match up with the geographical location of the Wisconsin Dells area. When visitation drops off - and incoming revenue is missing - anything sounds good.
The off season transports local Wisconsin Dells area leaders to a perception of lack and the need to act to remedy this uncomfortable time of little or no revenue. This is a time where public service needs change - and the cost of maintaining the physical attributes of the community seem higher - with no money coming in. Local leaders will act to amend policy that enables code enforcement efforts to expand revenue collection through questionable temporary techniques that lack any set reality in State and Federal Law. This is non-productive activity being performed though local municipal committee's that are trying to compensate for the lack of a commercial district that generates any real revenue in the long off season.
Policy made during the long off season in the Wisconsin Dells area lacks input from the share holders who operate the local business's - they have fled. This frustrates local committee's who are made to realize any real form of revenue generating change must be created through the cooperation of the share holders in the business community. Much of the policy being created during the long off season will not apply come next April 15th when the Wisconsin Dells area summer tourist season begins a new.

Wisconsin Dells Off Season Still Collecting Elevated Sales and Lodging Tax
The Wisconsin Dells area collects through the Premier Resort Tax - 6.75 percent on sales and 12.25 percent tax on over night lodging - even during the off season. This means consumers making purchases in the Wisconsin Dells area pay more for things like clothing, books, jewelry, bikes, ATV's, restaurant served food and beverage, hotel motel lodging, theater productions, concerts, golf course greens fees, amusement park tickets and more.
The off season in the Wisconsin Dells area is a time period of approximately September 15th to April 15th. Despite the long off season - business operators are required to continue to collect the higher tax on all transactions.
Of the 100 percent of the premier resort tax collected annually through financial transactions across the Wisconsin Dells area - it is generally accepted that the business operators in the Village of Lake Delton collect 75 percent of the extra taxes consumers contribute. The City of Wisconsin Dells business operators would be collecting about 25 percent of the extra taxes consumers contribute annually.
Due to the extra tax imposed upon consumer goods and services the local population will shop outside of the high tax Wisconsin Dells area if transportation is available. Due to the extreme drop in annual visitors to the Wisconsin Dells area resorts - the Village of Lake Delton is diverting publicly collected money from the needs of the residents - and creating a High End Attraction Incentive Program. This High End Attraction Incentive Program will provide free money for the area resorts to update and improve their attractions and amusements.
The Wisconsin Dells area is hoping that by diverting funds publicly collected for the needs of residents and giving that money to the private operators of the large resorts - they will update their amusements and attractions and hopefully increase the number of annual visitors to the Wisconsin Dells area.

Value of Wisconsin Dells Area as a Tourist Destination Resides with a Few Summer Months
The value of the Wisconsin Dells area as a tourist destination resides with a few summer months. In the off season more than 75 percent of the Down Town Wisconsin Dells Commercial District store front operators close. This is because visitation to the large Wisconsin Dells area resorts drops to insignificant calculations.
This makes it hard on the 3 Wisconsin Dells area committees competing for scarce community resources to bring their projects to some form of completion. The 3 large projects competing for scarce community resources are:
- Elm Street Outdoor Plaza
- Lake Delton Law Enforcement Building Alcan and Miller
- High School Along Rocky Arbor State Park
The Wisconsin Dells area is a rural summer resort community with a low population of year round residents. The Village of Lake Delton has applied millions of publicly collected dollars to build new housing to attract workers who come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Immigration Programming to staff the various tourism business modals. This brings more than 4500 work experience travelers who come every year to temporarily reside in the Wisconsin Dells area.
Committee members working on the 3 large projects competing for scarce Wisconsin Dells area resources are beginning to understand the 4500 plus temporary work experience visitors are not a source of fund contributors. Thankfully these people are willing to come and work hard for the Wisconsin Dells Tourism industry - but their earned money will be taken and contributed to their own community they must help financially support.

Wisconsin Dells Resorts Struggling Economically Advances Poverty
Wisconsin Dells area residents are questioning if the diversion of publicly collected funds from residents needs - and giving these huge sums of money to private business operators is further impoverishing the area. The Village of Lake Delton has crafted a political structure that enables large sums of publicly collected money to be diverted from the needs of residents and given to private business operators.
Wisconsin Dells area business operators are suggesting there is an unequal quality to this current practice of giving public money collected for the needs of the residents to selected private business operators. Recall the family who operates the Kalahari Resort received 10 million publicly collected dollars to construct a convention center. The family who operates the Noah's Ark has received 1.5 million dollars to build new housing for the J1VISA Immigration population. The family who operates the La Quinta Del Sol Hotel received 1.8 million dollars. This is publicly collected money being diverted from the needs of residents and given to private business operators.
With annual visitation numbers falling lower than ever the Village of Lake Delton is crafting the High End Attraction Incentive Program - this will provide free publicly collected money to the struggling resorts for updating and improving their amusements and attractions. This is publicly collected money being diverted from the needs of residents and given to private business operators.
The residents of the Wisconsin Dells area - seeing no valid return with this giving of high sums of money away to private business operators - now believe this is further impoverishing the Wisconsin Dells area.

Change Coming To Wisconsin Dells Broadway Commons
The Broadway Mobil is a common community gathering place along Broadway in Wisconsin Dells. In August 2020 this is all expected to change.
Coming August of 2020 the Wisconsin Dells high school population will be moved to the new building out along Rocky Arbor State Park. The school breaks do not accommodate the long trip from out along the Rocky Arbor State Park to the Broadway Mobil location.
The motor vehicle traffic that once benefitted the Broadway Mobil will now travel on the other side of the bridge. Wisconsin Dells residents are questioning where the next community commons will emerge.
We will have to watch to see what location becomes the next common gathering place for the community.

Lake Delton Limit More Than 4500 J1VISA Workers Use of Electric Scooters
The Village of Lake Delton diverts millions of publicly collected dollars from use on the needs of the residents - and gives it to private property owners who agree to construct new housing for the J1VISA population to live. The Wisconsin Dells area is a global community and home to more than 4500 work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Immigration Programming to support local tourism efforts. The more than 4500 work experience travelers are now the largest population of community share holders in the Wisconsin Dells area.
This newly constructed housing for the J1VISA population does not follow typical code requirements - so the rentals lack adequate motor vehicle parking. Electric scooters are becoming more popular as an economic, efficient, transportation option. The use of electric scooters is a popular mode of transportation across the globe.
Fearing the more than 4500 work experience travelers coming from outside of the Country to live in the new public funded housing will take advantage of the electric scooters for an economical means of transportation - the Village of Lake Delton is crafting regulations to limit the use of electric scooters across the Wisconsin Dells area.
This at a time that residents have suggested that due to the large size of the J1VISA population - more than 4500 - there needs to be a seat on the Village of Lake Delton board to better represent the needs of this growing population. The Wisconsin Dells area residents are investing millions of dollars of local public money - without any real input from this huge J1VISA population.
