August 24, 201511 yr I've been reading and hearing rumors that there is going to be a big announcement in about a week, about a huge new development coming to eastern Kentucky, specially Lawrence County and the Fallsburg area. It's supposedly something that will be a big tourist attraction, and bring lots of jobs to the area. It's said that phase one of the development will begin in less than a year, and have as much as 5 phases as part of the development depending on the demand and response by the public. Anybody else heard anything about this new development?
August 24, 201511 yr Same thing was rumored to happen in Mason County a few years back. Some folks like me were skeptical that half a billion dollars would be spent here on such an endeavor, and apparently we were correct.
August 24, 201511 yr Author Same thing was rumored to happen in Mason County a few years back. Some folks like me were skeptical that half a billion dollars would be spent here on such an endeavor, and apparently we were correct. Any idea on what it was supposed to be?
August 24, 201511 yr Any idea on what it was supposed to be? Read all about it here. Maysville, KY: Developments and News
August 24, 201511 yr Heck, some of my neighbors thought we were gonna have to move. I told them that nobody was going to spend $520 million on commercial/residential development in (literally) my back yard.
August 24, 201511 yr The 2,500-acre Wyldwood Resort and Airpark mixed-use property is located on the southern bank of the Ohio River along the east side of Maysville. It will have a deepwater port and marina with 95 wet slips and deepwater port on the Ohio River, on the east side of Maysville Kentucky, with a 2,000 acre Hill Top community east of State Highway 11, north of AA Highway and west of Orangeburg Road. This particular Wyldwood Development will have a 2,400-acre hunting preserve 15 miles south and west of the Hilltop community at Brandywine Road and Clarks Run Road. This will be the first hunting preserve in a Wyldwood Development anywhere in the world. The Wyldwood Development Group has retained Virginia Tech graduate, Duane Truslow, as the Hunting Preserve Specialist to design and ultimately maintain the preserve to maximize the hunting experience for its guests, while insuring state of the art wildlife resources are employed.

August 24, 201511 yr After reading that...no way in the world do I see anything like what is described happening.

Self contained nirvana....other than the hunting, nothing there for me, but by the description it was going to squeeze some old money to buy into a place like that. You sure this wasn't going to be named Whitewater ?
August 24, 201511 yr I'm all for adding tourist items that attract jobs and income for my EKY brothers/sisters. I remember years ago a professor expounding upon the recreational/tourist opportunities of creating a large lake in EKY. Great idea until you try to decide which county(ies) you want to submerge.
August 24, 201511 yr Interesting. I've heard nothing about this. It would be great if it happens, but I'm skeptical. It appears that if this is the same thing that was planned for Mason County, someone is serious about doing it, it appears that they may be having a hard time finding the right location. Anyone know why the project in Mason County fell apart?
