  1. MARINA CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT OWENSBORO

  2. Project Status: • Workshop 1 Summary • Regional Demographic • Larger boats at Land Between the Lakes, Owensboro area typically small 25’ or less • Desired Marina • Covered docks with basic necessities and restroom/shower • Protected Basin • Adequate parking for restaurant and marina • Excursion boat docking • Alternate Locations • Little Hurricane boat launch and Yager Quarry (Mercer Site)

  3. Project Status: • Information Gathering • Opportunities & Constraints • Initial Concepts

  4. Information Gathering: • Boater Demographics • Cruisers • Houseboats • Sailboats • Local Enthusiasm, Market Skepticism • Comparable Markets; their story

  5. Information Gathering: • Ohio River Recreational Marina Market • Initial Responses • Local Stakeholders enthusiastic • Kentucky Marina Association- Neutral to negative. “There really aren’t any in the area. Most go to the Land between the Lakes” • Similarities to other Cities on major working rivers • Alton, IL • Clarksville, TN • Market Generation Process

  6. Alton, IL • Developed on Mississippi River in mid 1990’s • Nothing comparable nearby • Underdeveloped boat sales market • Local enthusiasm • Similar environmental concerns • Phased development and long term success

  8. Alton, IL

  9. Clarksville, TN • 25 years of study, six years of development • No nearby comparables • Cumberland River floods • Integrating with the park and business • Private operation/ public park
