4-30-21 heidel house receives major state grant

The City of Green Lake is receiving a $250,000 state grant to help renovate and reopen the Heidel House Hotel and Resort located in Green Lake.  The grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation will support substantia redevelopment of the interior buildings to reopen the hotel and resort, which has been closed since May 2019.  “A vibrant downtown is crucial to a city’s overall economic health and its quality of life, which is why one of WEDC’s top priorities is to support communities throughout the state as they invest in improving their business districts,” said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of WEDC. “This project will not only bring new jobs to the city but will also bring more visitors to enjoy the many amenities Green Lake has to offer.”    The city is working with Green Lake Hotel Group LLC, which purchased the 18-acre property in 2020. Interior renovations to be done include the hotel public and common spaces, restaurants and guest rooms. The hotel will have two bars and two restaurants, an indoor pool, fitness center, game room, gift shop, business center and conference facilities. The project is expected to be completed in the spring, with opening in June 2021.
