Dewey Lagoon will not be reopening for the 2023 summer season, but plans are being made to turn the space into a destination for summer fun. Last year, we opened up the Lagoon. Great swimming area. The kids had a lot of fun on the inflatable equipment, but it didn't really pan out like we thought it would. We need more amenities, more events, more things to go on over here so we can bring more people in. This year, we decided to suspend the Lagoon activities until we got some stuff in play. We're trying to do up in the park, up in the holler up here, Swampoo Hall, they call it. You could pull this off and then there's a lot of stuff to do here. It's a destination as opposed to just being one place in the Lagoon. Many plans are on the table for the space, such as possibly turning the pool into a venue and eventually getting the Lagoon back in working condition, but there's still a lot of red tape for the city of Prestonsburg to go through. I need a longer lease than what I get because if we're going to invest an extra amount of money, we want to try to get it back. It's not pushed back as much as it's an entire process going through and the process is taking way too long, in my opinion. We just want to try to get through it, get it done, and get it over with. I'm that kind of guy. I'm always trying to keep going, so it may just be me imagining this, but it seems like government is not moving as quickly as we'd like for it to do to try to be able to get this stuff in place. If we get these plans in place and we get this happening, it's really going to turn this area into a destination. While the Lagoon served as an excellent space for late-goers to swim and lounge at last year, many are eager to see what will be coming next.
