WHITTINGTON – The Rend Lake Resort at Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area remains closed more than a year after shutting down.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has been looking for a new concessionaire to reopen the resort, but despite three calls for bids, not a single bid has come in.
“This will be job creation,” said state senator Dale Fowler at a press conference in June. “This resort’s been closed since December. This could create a couple hundred jobs right here in southern Illinois.”
