Once the struggling economy rebounds, Acheson Ventures officials say the development of Desmond Landing will quicken — with the possibility of everything from a water park to a casino.
Rich Engle, the chief operating officer of Acheson Ventures, said they are in talks with hotel and water park developers and planners and development experts from Chicago to Ottawa — in total about 20 different groups — about developing the 70 acres owned by Acheson along the St. Clair River on the south side of Port Huron.
“We have all that ammunition sitting here and we are waiting for that first person to come through the door who isn’t afraid to be the first to develop it,” he said. “I think once this economy turns around, I think it will get going.”
He said specifically about a water park feasibility study that “they felt there was a market here; they think it could be done.”
