Terence J. McCarthy, owner of TJM Properties said, “Plans to sell all or part of the property are underway. We have a number of offers for all of the parcels of the property, and several parties expressed interest in purchasing the entire resort. We are finalizing our plans on what we may keep and what we will sell and will be reviewing all these offers in the coming weeks.”
