Development Use Case
The Lodging Gap
Within 30 miles of Piketon, there are roughly 200-300 hotel rooms. A 10-gigawatt data center campus will require thousands of construction workers over multiple phases. Where do they sleep?
RV parks and crew lodging near major construction sites consistently achieve 90%+ occupancy during buildout phases. The demand is immediate and the supply is effectively zero.
Why This Site
- 0.4 miles of SR-32 highway frontage with high visibility (7,000-12,000 vehicles/day)
- Natural water features (pond, creek) for amenity value
- Elevated terrain with good drainage for pad sites
- Gigabit fiber for Wi-Fi throughout the park
- 20 minutes to PORTS on direct highway
- 5 minutes to Jackson for supplies and services
Revenue Potential
RV Park (Phase 1)
80 full-hookup RV sites on 20 acres at $65/night average. At 80% occupancy: ~$1.5M annual gross revenue. Buildout cost: $800K-$1.2M for pads, hookups, roads, bathhouse.
Extended-Stay Cabins (Phase 2)
20 furnished cabins at $120/night. At 75% occupancy: ~$657K annual gross. Higher margin than RV but more capital-intensive.
