A major new hospitality and entertainment development is taking shape in Spotsylvania County, where Kalahari Resorts & Conventions is building its fifth resort and first in Virginia. Located along Interstate 95, the project will be served by REC. The resort is planned to include 907 guest rooms and suites, a 175,000-square-foot indoor water park, a 90,000-square-foot indoor adventure park and 150,000 square feet of meeting and convention space. It is expected to create about 1,400 full- and part-time jobs.
For REC, the project reflects the Cooperative's role in supporting growth throughout its service territory by providing reliable electric service for new homes, businesses and major developments.
"Projects like this show how electric cooperatives support more than residential meters — we support the growth and vitality of the communities we serve," said Herschel K. Arant, Jr., P.E., Chief Growth Officer at REC. "As Spotsylvania County continues to grow, REC remains focused on providing reliable electric service for the homes and businesses that make up our communities."
