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 can achieve high occupancy rates 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.
