Ariel Zangla in The Daily Freeman reports that Greene County is paying an Leisure Business Advisors of Richmond, Va. something less than $10,000 of taxpayer money to audit financial prospects for the proposed Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park in New Baltimore. County Administrator Shaun Groden told Zangla that he should have a report Feb. 3 on the prospects for $115-million 400-room hotel and 80,000-square-foot indoor water park, restaurant and lounge, large conference center, arcade, and gift shop. The Greene County Industrial Development Agency wants to borrow up to $15.6 million to pay for infrastructure improvements for the Kalkberg Commerce Park in New Baltimore, where the water park would be one of many businesses. That loan would be repaid through a fee on room rentals and sales tax at the hotel. The owners of Zoom Flume, the outdoor water park in Durham, are among the projects critics.
