A seasonal resort near Strawtown Koteewi Park will be considered by Hamilton County Commissioners in their regular meeting Monday afternoon. Proposed by Bruce Oldham, the 55-acre project, if approved, will include a small lake, campgrounds, rental cabins and eventually commercial businesses.

Located west of State Road 37 at Essig Road, the planned project is called Strawtown Resort Planned Unit Development (PUD). Construction of the lake and eight cabins will begin next year. The proposed PUD comes to commissioners with a favorable recommendation from the county plan commission.

The facility, near the county’s popular Koteewi Park, will presumably attract visitors to Koteewi where they can camp and buy supplies in close proximity to the county park where there is variety of attractions are offered.
