On Tuesday, July 12, the Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning, redesignating 135 acres of rural farmland between Route 1 and Interstate 95 from agricultural land to commercial.
In turn, Kalahari Resorts will build indoor and outdoor waterparks, a convention center, and a 12-story, 900-room hotel on the site, awakening the Thornburg area, referred to by county planners as a "sleeping giant" ripe for tourism.
