Konocti Harbor Resort And Spa To Close Nov. 10
KELSEYVILLE (CBS 5 / AP) ―
The pending closure of a major Lake County resort will soon be putting hundreds of people out of work.
The operators of the Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa have notified Lake County officials that the resort will be shutting down for good on Nov. 10.
The resort's management company, White Star Advisors, says 700 people work at the resort on the shores of Clear Lake. Many of those workers are employed on a seasonal basis.
Word of the planned closure comes after the resort struggled financially for years.
In 2007 the property was put up for sale as part of a settlement with the Labor Department over allegations that union officials had mishandled funds intended for the benefit plans of union workers.
