Kalahari center, water park delayed
TOBYHANNA TWP. - The start of construction of a multimillion-dollar hotel, water park and convention center complex could be delayed until summer.
Officials from Kalahari Resorts reported the plans to begin development of their $350 million resort near Mount Pocono will not begin this month, as originally planned. Officials of Kalahari, which is based in Wisconsin, reported they are awaiting final planning approvals before breaking ground this summer.
The resort, which could open in late 2014, will include a 450-room hotel, a 100,000-square-foot indoor water park and a 65,000-square-foot convention center. It will be located near Interstate 380 on the west golf course at Pocono Manor.
