Jackson Jambalaya

huh?
I was there Friday - nothing going on.

This is a good thing for the Rez and the Jackson market, glad it's happening.

I imagine its hard to get people to put down deposits from people who have watched this develop over the last 10 years. How many people want to put up $1,000 and wait 25 years for their condo?

Is the water still coffee colored?
Why don't they just condo Jones'Cabins?
Leave a deposit with J. Burwell? Yeah, right.

that's the whole point, it isn't hapening...

There was an out-of-state-tagged camper out there the other day and his Great Dane was taking a long piss on a flat rock. The Dane had the right idea.

I went to the website and the old vid is still up but the picture of the condo is completely different and so is the setting but they are showing some pre-sold/reserved.

Don't call it a comeback.

Harborwalk's been here for years.

I think it's great! I'm excited to see the condominiums be built. Although Burwell hasn't had the funding to make the big idea happen, he is making very positive changes out here! I live out here, and he has cleared out all the old crap piers and moved everyone to new piers, ....way better than when the Deweese's owned the lease. Burwell has gotten rid of so many eye-sores, come check it out!

These are what was originally the phase 6 condominiums...these are off of Rice Rd, You can look at the design plat on his website and see where they will be. These will not replace the original design of phase 1...these are what he has the money to build at the time.

he can piss off for all i care... and so can those who believe in him.

The entire project is 'off of' Rice Road.

This is where I came in.

The only difference is that Hotel Valencia is gone. We may get a few creaky, overpriced condos and (hopefully) Burwell will clean up the junky BoatWorks building, but no way will it be as extensive as laid out on his website. Look at Lost Rabbit for a prime example.

Build it and they will come.

Not one word about the certified Evinrude Mechanic that was originally going to be on call 24-7 .

This particular building is going to be built along Rice Rd. ...the rest of the development is not on Rice Rd. You cannot compare Lost Rabbit to the Harborwalk development. Lost Rabbit was always a lost cause. The area of Harborwalk has been supporting local successful businesses, condominiums, yacht clubs, boating docks, etc, for upwards of 35 years! The area is easily accessible from the entire metro area,....just a few years ago Lost Rabbit was a wooded patch of land that teens and college students used for bonfires and drinking/partying. Lost Rabbit is totally off the map, I don't know why people believed a thriving mini-city could be built over a few years. Lost Rabbit is located at the end of a long ,country, two lane road that doesn't connect to anything. Why would businesses move out there? Makes no sense at all!

The HarborWalk development area has always been the main hub of the Rez ever since it was first built in the 1960's. Makes perfect sense for this area to continue to grow.

Just need to add in another JSU satelite campus and it will rock.

Now complete with free shuttle to Farish Street!

Yo Momma!

Smells of death to me, and I fear, to any investors. HarborWalk stands a (marginally) better chance than Lost Rabbit (was ever there a more apposite name for a doomed-to-fail development?)---but all the same, Harbor Walk will end up as a pile of prole debris. Just easier to get to than Lost Rabbit.

The project is being held up by the Reservoir. They are refusing to issue a permit to begin construction. The work should have been started in December. Additionally, Mr. Burwell tried to donate land to the Craft Guild for parking. The board voted it down in Executive session 5 to 2. Understand the Mayor and Rep. Rita Martinson arent happy. The reason was they would lose $10,000 a year in rent from Burwell. Funny thing is in July 2012 they turned down $130,000 from Burwell for an extension on the land he had not bought yet. Mr. John Sigman then was interviewed by the CL and said they had no plans for the land and had never been approached by anyone interested. KF why don't you look into this mess.

Just one problem with your comment. This has not been approved yet by the Shoreline Committee nor has the final package been submitted to the committee.

KF - so no outrage a state agency turns down revenue for a piece of paper and admits they have no plans for the property - then sites revenue for turning down badly needed parking for a state property - go read the article about charging $2 for permits at fishing tournaments for badly needed funds - come on connect the dots - your better than this

Burwell doesn't have the authority to 'donate' land owned by PRVWSD. How arrogant of him! But, who should be surprised since he thinks he also owns the bream-beds and every red and white cork ever lost our there by a fisherman.

The project, should it ever result in a stake being driven, has no relationship or comparison to Lost Rabbit whatever other than both being on PRVWSD property. LR appears to have been well financed at the outset, building went on for four years, people moved in, nice harbor was built, yada yada. Government red tape and misunderstandings and shell games resulted in the failure. This or that wasn't done precisely right and two i's weren't dotted and one 'T' was improperly crossed. Meanwhile, there's still some fancy digs out there.
