Holiday World Compass Commons

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Holiday World and Splashin' Safari will offer housing to workers who live more than 50 miles away.

Team members must be at least 18 years old and employed seasonally to live in Compass Commons, which is expected to be ready in May 2023, according to park officials.

Holiday World released renderings of the $6.7 million complex Monday. The weekly rate is $105, which would be deducted from an employee's payroll.

Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a shared kitchen space and lounge are included. Each floor has common restroom and shower facilities.

It's something park executives said they've needed for some time.

"Santa Claus, Indiana, isn't exactly known for short-term leases, so we've never really had a solution before," said Leah Koch, director of communications for Holiday World. "So we're very excited to have this, we know there's a lot of interests out there and so we're just excited to start launching people's careers."

Once complete, the complex will be within walking distance to Holiday World.
