A developer in Canada has announced plans to build a $4 billion lunar-themed resort in Coachella.
Moon World Resorts Inc. will build Moon USA in the desert city and create an estimated 11,000 jobs – about 3,000 in construction and another 8,000 after completion – according to a company statement released Tuesday.
The project is expected to open in 2022. It will take about two years to obtain permits for the project and four years to build.
Moon USA will include a 10-acre simulation of the lunar surface, a 4,000-suite hotel, 10,000-seat event center and a convention center that will cover two million square feet.
