American Waterways Grand Opening
American Waterways, a division of Sumerset Houseboats,
located on KY 90 in Wayne
County had their grand
opening on June 15.
Steve Lochmueller, CEO of Sumerset Houseboats and American
Waterways, said that the idea for American Waterways started last fall from a
strategy session. The idea to build an
affordable, entry level houseboat that included the same quality of a Sumerset
Houseboat was born. In 17 weeks since
aquiring the building from Kentucky Highlands Investment Corporation, the first
houseboat was completed.
American waterways will be producing three different sized boats;
each boat will then have one of six schemes.
The starting price for the houseboats will be about $175,000.
American waterways currently employ 50 people and plan to
grow the company to 95.
