There are good reasons to buy these waterfront properties and build here. Stockton Lake is awaking from its deep sleep. Development in both Cedar and Dade County has escalated since the 2000 census. The old data has not caught more recent progress:

• In addition to a growing tourist population, area businesses continue their upward growth. Downtown Stockton has various building projects. Three are in the government office area; six are retail development, ten are residential construction, and four are private and/or financial improvements.
• Two major manufacturing facilities: Superior Gearbox & Hammon’s Products Co., which is the world’s largest producer of black walnuts. The County hospital in El Dorado Springs offers a full range of medical services.
• A new visitor’s information center was completed in September, ’05 with design and development for additional office space and exhibits. At Stockton Lake State Park, there is a marina, lodging, boat rentals and a sailing school. You are able to fly into the Stockton Municipal airport; call the Pilots’ Quarters at 1-417-276-7620 for details. And you can have your own fishing or hunting guide.
• The area around Stockton Lake has a lake association: The Stockton Lake Association. The association provides general information, advertising, special events, various maps, etc. An active web site maintains current data: www.stocktonlake.com
• From the Corp of Engineering web site," More than 400 private concessionaires, with gross fixed assets of $225 million, operate supporting facilities and services at Corps lakes, such as marinas, bait shops, and grocery stores. Corps properties also play an important role in drawing new residents, particularly senior citizens to an area, and can help build a stronger sense of community identity. Corps hydropower plants have low operating costs and are immune to rising fossil fuel prices, making them one of the least costly sources of electric power available today. As a result, these plants are playing a significant role in keeping electricity costs affordable for consumers, creating a positive impact on the economy. As concerns about the nation's limited energy resources grow, the Corps is working to increase hydropower output, efficiency, and reliability by upgrading and modernizing its facilities. Approximately two to three facilities per year are being renovated."
