Developer plans $100M Sheridan theme park with 6-acre lake, tubing hill, ropes course.

SkyLake is planned in a part of Sheridan that was in unincorporated Adams Township until Jan. 1. Voters last November approved a reorganization plan to consolidate Sheridan and Adams Township into one town bounded by the county lines on its northern and western borders, east to U.S. 31 and south to 216th Street.

“This project is the first major development along the US 31 corridor since Sheridan gained control of planning and zoning of the area earlier this year,” Town Council President Silas DeVaney said in written remarks. “I feel tonight’s approval of SkyLake sets the tone for the 31 corridor and we will continue to be thoughtful about how our community changes over time.”
