The Island Resort & Casino, Harris, Mich., has broken ground on a new $2 million conference center to attract more corporate golf outings and meetings.
The resort-which owns and operates Sweetgrass Golf Club-started the 8,000 square-foot expansion project this fall. Located adjacent to the Sweetgrass pro shop, it will nearly double private function space to 17,400 square feet throughout the property.
Scheduled to be completed in April, 2011, the conference center addition will increase total seating capacity by 828. It can be accessed via a new private outdoor entrance and is within easy indoor walking distance from the casino’s main floor, showroom, in-house restaurants and 275 hotel rooms.
The expansion is the latest of many capital improvements on the Island Resort & Casino campus, which included the golf course.
