Upon their first introduction to Sankoty Lakes Resort, residents of Spring Bay may have felt that it was a gift from heaven.
“I belong to the Methodist church here in town, so I had the pastor get everybody together and I preached a Sunday sermon,” said Kim Blickenstaff, chairman and founder of KDB Development Group, the enterprise behind the resort. “They generally get 80 to 100 people every Sunday, and they got over 200, so that was how we informed the community because that’s the place people really gather.”
That announcement came in late 2019, and now, almost 15 months after breaking ground, Sankoty Lakes Resort is nearing its official opening.
