From Wyandotte Daily: “$150 million Homefield project expands to include Margaritaville resort“
A largely expanded $150 million Homefield youth sports development, including a Margaritaville hotel and resort, was outlined at a special Unified Government committee meeting on Tuesday night.
The $85 million Margaritaville hotel and resort also has been added since the project received earlier approval in November 2020, according to Katherine Carttar, UG economic development director.
“The thing that came out of the blue for us a little bit is this Margaritaville resort,” Heineman said. “It’s one of the hottest things in the United States right now.”
There are Margaritaville resorts in New York and in Orlando, he said. Also, he said there is still a lot of land left there to be developed, with other projects under consideration.
While the Margaritaville resort was just a hope the last time the project came before the commission, it is now a requirement of the project, she said.
