The Rend Lake Resort at Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area will be reopened.
“There has been a lot of interest show in the resort since it’s close,” said Brent Krebs, Illinois Department of Natural Resources chief of staff. A tremendous amount of work has gone into this.”
The facility closed in December 2016 after the state terminated its lease with Rend Lake Resort, Inc.
Krebs said Wednesday afternoon the safety issues and others will be addressed through a partnership between the state and the new lessees. Official information on the request for bids states “It should be noted that this facility is offered ‘AS IS.’ The agency makes no guarantees or representation in regard to the condition of any of the resort facility or contents thereof
