In The Daily Freeman, Ariel Zangla interviews John Gerner, managing director for Leisure Business Advisors, who, on Wed. Feb. 22, gave a fiscal opinion to the Greene County Legislature’s Government Operations Committee about the proposed Great Wolf indoor water park resort in New Baltimore. The water park's hotel would need to maintain a 40 percent occupancy rate over 30 years to pay back the $26.9 million in infrastructure improvements from a room rental fee. Occupancy rates at other Great Wolf resorts are all above 60 percent, according to Lerner. "The county has been asked to borrow up to $15.6 million to pay for infrastructure improvements at the Kalkberg Commerce Park in New Baltimore," Zangla writes. The $115-million project includes a 400-room hotel, an 80,000-square-foot indoor water park, restaurant and lounge, and an 18,000-square-foot space for a conference center, arcade, gift shop and other services. The proposed park has come up with local resistance, particularly from Durham, and the Zoom Flume Water Park owners there.
