Here are artists' renderings of a similar project proposed for New Baltimore, Greene County, when Otsego Now President Sandy Mathes was economic developer there.  The 2008 recession delayed that undertaking, although discussions were revived in 2013.

Site Considered Between Cooperstown, Oneonta

COOPERSTOWN – It’s not among $230 million priority projects in the MV500 plan sent to Governor Cuomo’s office on Oct. 5, but a $160 million, four-season, indoor-outdoor water park, somewhere between Oneonta and Cooperstown, is outlined in the section on tourism strategies.

“The 400-suite resort … expands the options for families staying in the region for youth baseball camps, provides an alternative year-'round venue for families visiting the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and offers a destination-scale attraction for families with school-aged children in the Northeast and Canada during winter vacation and spring breaks,” the prospectus reports on Page 98.
