The New La Quinta Resort Master Plan

The La Quinta Resort has been working on a new Master Plan which they hope will set a path for the resort’s growth over the next 25-30 years.  The changes will happen in phases and not instantly.  The resort believes there’s a lot of value in a long term plan for its future, something they haven’t had in the past (from a development standpoint).  The Resort is still in the planning stages — they’ve been very active with the community in sharing, listening and incorporating feedback in their endeavor.  They’ve just launched a new website which describes the work in progress, which can be found here:

La Quinta Resort is having a Facelift.

If you have driven past the entrance to the La Quinta Resort lately, you have noticed that it is all torn up!  Some residents have been nervous about why those landmark cypress trees have been torn down.  Well, the answer is all good news for La Quinta!  The old cypress trees (over 60 years old) were removed because they have become diseased and tired.  They are being replaced with 100 younger cypress trees and 40 palm trees, which will give the entrance the same elegance with an upgrade. I just drove past today and it is already looking even better than before!

In addition to the entrance, the Resort face lift includes a total renovation to the main pool and the snack bar area. On Thursday, Dec. 4, 2008, The Desert Sun had  an article about all the scheduled renovations that will be taking place within the next 2 years at the Resort.  It is all very exciting and such positive news  at a time when we don’t hear much of that!
