Someone mentioned that they noticed some engineers filtering into town. Being one of those cockeyed optimists I always have my hopes up 
When the Wrecked and RV park start moving that might be like the first Robin of Spring sign.
I know they were suppose to be announcing which cruise line(s) was going to use us as a Home Port but haven't heard a whisper since.
Hopefully someone knows more than I do - and that wouldn't take much at all. In the meantime it is beautiful and life just keeps going on.

wrecked is already looking to relocate. I heard that they inquired about property between one of the sonoran properties and esmeralda. the cruise port will happen, just a matter of how long (will it be 2 years or 4 to complete).

If it's the beachfront property for sale (3.9 mil) kind of expensive for a bar. Who knows how long it will be for sale, maybe put up some small apartments in square foot for the 5 cruise lines workers coming to Penasco.
I am excited for the homeport as a customer who likes to go on cruises and I think the economic gain for those who need employment will be great. That said, I can't figure out what everyone is so excited about to be living next door to the homeport. Let's say they build the homeport just as the plans indicate. This is a homeport, not a tourist port of call. Has anyone witnessed the traffic, noise and other unpleasant things that go with trying to maneuver 3,000 people off a ship and another 3,000 people onto that same ship in a six hour timeframe? I have cruised out of many home ports in the U.S. (Long Beach, Port Canaveral, Galveston, New Orleans and Miami). I would not want to live anywhere near these homeports just as I would not want to live next to an airport or a train station. I am not a real estate expert, but I don't see how this increased home values in any of these areas.

You really hit the nail on the head. The local business interests I believe only sees $. When paradise was being paved with condos they only saw $ as well. Now they mostly see condo skeletons. It will be the same with the port.

Kenny if the port was built 40 years ago you kids in Cholla Bay would be diving for coins thrown off the cruise ships

That's exactly one of the benefits - last minute cheap cruise deals will finally be within reach of those of us in AZ without spending money to fly or drive all day to the port

I hate to say it but it was over 50 and trust me, my folks would have just kept on driving.

Right on, this is a pipe dream, IF a cruse ship were to bring a load of cruser's to PP and the cruser's saw that there was NOTHING to warrant the fee they paid for this "port of call", and demanded a refund, good luck with that, that would be the last time ANY cruse ship would even think of going to PP, and the result would be MORE bad press for PP, which = less people would come to PP, the "word" would spread like wild fire, hence more "condo skeletons" type of irrepairable damage done to PP,
