The Poarch Band of Creek Indians on Wednesday unveiled detailed plans for a new “first-class, family-friendly tourist destination” currently under construction near South Alabama’s popular beaches.
The complex — called “Owa,” which means “big water” in the Muskogee Creek language — will feature a 14-acre lake at its center, surrounded by a themed amusement park, a 150-room Marriott Town Place Suites hotel, and a wide selection of restaurant and shopping opportunities.
When completed, the Owa development is expected to attract 1 million new visitors to South Alabama and will directly or indirectly generate close to 3,500 jobs.
The 520-acre Owa development is adjacent to the City of Foley’s $40 million sports tourism complex which features 16 state-of-the-art outdoor fields and a 90,000 square foot indoor events center that is slated to open in the summer of 2017. The two projects will provide a seamless experience for “sport families” who travel to the area specifically for tournaments, but who will avail themselves of opportunities offered by Owa to entertain the entire family.
