I attended the Vision Iowa hearing in McGregor the
night before last concerning the proposed destination
super park to be located 3.5 miles West of McGregor on
the South side of Hwy 18 near Spook Cave but on the
other side of the highway. The site is primarily
agricultural land(at least they didnŐt carve up the
blufflands overlooking the Mississippi). The park
would contain a 18 hole golf course ,a 76 unit hotel,a
8000 sq. ft convention center, a 8000 sq. ft. wellness
center, a 40 unit retirement center, a restaurant, and
a water park. The proposed snow boarding -snowtubing
winterpark was dropped from the grant proposal but
might be built in the future at an undisclosed site.
The proposal also includes a bicycle path between
McGregor and Marquette and community revitalization
Grants for the main streets of
McGregor,Marquette,Guttenberg,and Strawberry Point.
I spoke at the hearing and opposed the destination
super park,but did not oppose the bicycle path or
community revitalization projects. The majority of the
attendees and the speakers were in favor of the
project but a significant minority were opposed.
