Kah-Nee-Ta Village Update

Concrete trucks were rolling down highway 3 last week – as the Kah-Nee-Ta Village Project continued with a focus on pouring concrete for the large pools.

The old pools needed to be completely replaced.

There will be a large natural hot springs soaking pool, lazy river pools, a youth zero depth entry pool and a youth soaking pool.

Jim Souers from Warm Springs Economic Development says a new Kah-Nee-Ta website will launch next month but they don’t have an opening date set yet – with much work still to be completed.

“A lot of activity going on with Kah-Nee-Ta. Busy week last week with a lot of concrete trucks going out. We’re making really good progress. All the pools, the new pools have been completely concreted. Next they’ll be finished. That was a major task, a major achievement. We’re still working at opening this summer. We’ve got a few other things that are working on of course, the waste lagoons are going to have to be fixed and repaired, so that’s got work ongoing. We’re remodeling the hotel and we’re going to be putting in a restaurant in what used to be the gift space area. That’s kinda where we’re at, most of our focus is right now.”

Souers reminds the community that the entire Village area is an active construction site and, for safety reasons, is completely closed to the public.
