Shuttered southeastern Ohio lodge to be reopened

GLOUSTER, Ohio (AP) — A shuttered, state-owned lodge at a southeastern Ohio park will be reopened this fall and its rooms are expected to undergo hefty renovations as part of an agreement with a new state contractor.

The state’s Department of Natural Resources recently announced that U.S. Hotels, a hospitality company, will operate Burr Oak Lodge and Conference Center in Glouster under a two-year contract with the state.
