[ad_1]
OSAGE BEACH, Mo. – A $300-million family resort and entertainment district planned for the Lake of the Ozarks region will now include a Marriott Hotels property.
The planned site is called “Oasis at Lakeport.” Developers hope to build the high-scale resort off of Highway 54 and Jeffries Road in the city of Osage Beach. It would include rides, attractions, hotels and restaurants, in addition to an amphitheater, marina and boardwalk.

Two St. Louis-based developers – SkyView Partners and Tegethoff Development – have led much of the planning efforts. SkyView Partners announced Monday evening that Marriott International has agreed to construction of a 400-room, full-service Marriott Hotels property as part of the resort.
Marriott is planning to offer hundreds of rooms, a 26,000-square-foot conference center, full-service spa, restaurants, an outdoor pool, a fitness center and pickleball courts. The property will be located near a large-scale waterpark, one in the works through OpenAire Inc.
“The addition of the Marriott Hotels property to the Lakeport family resort and entertainment district will solidify Oasis as the premier tourist destination in the Midwest,” said Todd Schneider, co-managing partner of SkyView Partners. “Our goal for Oasis at Lakeport is to provide a year-round family friendly offering with attractions and entertainment for everyone to enjoy.”
“We are excited to announce plans for the future Marriott Hotels property and the amenities it will bring to the Osage Beach community,” said Jeff Tegethoff, founding principal of Tegethoff Development. “I am committed to bringing partners to the lake community that will provide employment opportunities and enjoyment for future generations.”
Big Thunder Marine, one of the lake region’s biggest boating companies, acquired the land for the proposed site in 2021. Along with the hotels, current resort plans call for 20 acres of amusement rides, attractions and a 200-foot-tall observation wheel.
“The investment in the Osage Beach community continues to grow through the partnership priorities and efforts of SkyView Partners and Tegethoff Development,” said Osage Beach Mayor Michael Harmison. “As plans for the family friendly offerings at Oasis at Lakeport continue to be announced, I am enjoying watching our community gain momentum as one of the fastest growing lake destinations.”

SkyView partners says resort construction is on pace to begin this summer. The amusement park and other features of it could open by summer 2024. Developers estimate the Marriott and waterpark properties will open by 2026.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – Two people are behind bars after a man reportedly attacked a Jefferson County deputy with a screwdriver during an attempted arrest over the weekend.
Prosecutors have charged Nicholas Davis, 47, and Amanda Davis, 45, of Dittmer, Missouri, with felonies in the investigation.

The alleged attack followed a traffic stop of a driver in the 9500 block of Jones Creek Road on July 7, though the driver was not Nicholas or Amanda.
According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Nicholas reportedly came out of his nearby home, yelled at a deputy and started approaching him while holding a screwdriver. The deputy initially ordered Nicholas to back away, then used pepper spray.
Per court documents, the deputy attempted to arrest Nicholas, who then struck him in the chest with the screwdriver. Amanda reportedly approached the deputy and pulled him away from Nicholas before both ran inside their home.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the situation prompted an hours-long standoff involving negotiators, a SWAT team and a K-9 deputy. The situation led to Nicholas refusing warnings and being bitten by a K-9.
Nicholas and Amanda are both jailed in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Nicholas is charged with first-degree assault on a special victim and armed criminal action. Amanda is charged with resisting/interfering with arrest.

ST. LOUIS — A gasoline tanker truck crashed into a Metro transit center near Riverview and Hall Streets early Tuesday morning and knocked over a power pole. The pole is leaning on other power lines. Police have the area blocked off here because there is a downed power line. Ameren and Metro crews are also on the scene.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. It’s still unclear exactly what caused the crash, but we do that there was a second vehicle somehow involved. The airbags on that second vehicle did deploy.
Accused killer’s case thrown out over one question at trial
Police at the scene have not been able to give us a lot of details. Metro officials tell FOX 2 that the transit center here is operating this morning for passengers and buses. Access to certain areas will be limited here as clean up unfolds.
A Metro spokesperson says half of the station isn’t being used right now because of safety issues. It isn’t impacting overall bus operations, everything is just happening on the other side of transit center.
The extent of the damage to the actual transit center is still unclear, but I’m told it does not appear to be extreme. A Metro spokesperson tells me there were no injuries to any metro workers or passengers. The tanker driver also was not injured.
