Supple Group Removes Itself From Akcess Project

The Oshkosh Common Council just received the press release below from Jay Supple. It speaks for itself.

The Supple Group will be removing itself from the downtown Oshkosh Fox River Development. The Supple Group was originally solicited by Akcess Acquisition Group to operate both the future hotel and restaurant as part of the overall development project. The Supples have worked closely with Akcess researching complementary hotel and restaurant brands for the waterfront. Although the Supples were successful in attracting a number of viable hotel brands and developed a restaurant concept for the site, the group has amicably decided to part ways on the project. Both Akcess and the Supple Group continue to be positive about the future of the entire waterfront development and continue to be passionate towards growth in Oshkosh. Jay Supple stated, “As Oshkosh business owners and residents, our family will always be committed to the City of Oshkosh. Our corporate headquarters are here, and this is where we live and raise our children. We are proud of everything we have built in this city and will continue to support and be active in developing Oshkosh.”

Tony - It is time to pull the plug on this project...Everyone tried their best but the time has come to end it...In my view the project has been on life support for some time...Please do not allow city leaders to spin this development that the Supples want out...To me the Supple Group was the only attractive part of this project and now that does not even exist...

RIP Akcess Acquisition
