A multi-million-dollar project could bring a big economic boost to Connecticut, including hundreds of new jobs.

Great Wolf Lodge is opening a new resort and waterpark adjacent to Foxwoods Resort Casino.

The project is officially underway after a groundbreaking Wednesday, and renderings just released offer a glimpse at the development.

“This is a development that’s decades in the making, literally,” Rodney Butler, Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation chairman, said.

Right now, there is an active construction sight, but Great Wolf Lodge is set to open in spring of 2025.

“We’re just super excited, can’t wait to get this open,” Jason Guyot, Foxwoods Resort Casino president and CEO, said. “It’s great addition to the property. Over 500 hotel rooms, 91,000 square-foot waterpark, along with a 61,000 square-foot family entertainment center.”
