REDMOND
No matter how upscale Central Oregon becomes, there’s
still room for fun. Architect Bill Schertzinger is working to
build a frontier-themed indoor
water park and hotel to offer families another reason to
come visit the region. Built on 11 acres of a 39-acre parcel of
land on the outskirts of town, Schertzinger envisions the water
park and hotel as part of a larger development that will
attract tourists and provide local jobs year-round.
Construction is slated to begin later this year. The first
phase of work will provide 15 full-time and as many as 150
part-time jobs.
