And I thought Bill Elliott was going to be the most famous thing to come out of Dawsonville. A developer wants to build a $1 billion indoor ski resort complete with ice rinks, retail, homes, etc. near GA 400 & Hwy 53. The developer mentioned Jot Em Down Rd so it sounds like it will be in that triangle looking towards the mountains. Mt. Pegasus would be the tallest and longest indoor ski hill(mountain is pushing it!) in the world.
Watch out
Dubai, here comes indoor skiing southern-style; instead of headdresses and flowing robes, it's NASCAR caps, waterproof-sprayed blue jeans, and garbage bag leg warmers.
Also different than Dubai, instead of having to build the altitude, the ski dome would basically enclose the mountain ridge. At least that is what Channel 2 TV is reporting.
Quote:
Called the Falls at Lanier Highland, the proposed resort would be built on land between Georgia 400 and Georgia 53. It would be a 2.1 million-square-foot project that would include retail stores and hotels and generate about 2,500 jobs.
Mount Pegasus would be an estimated $1 billion ski dome. Plans also call for two ice rinks.The proposal also includes four hotels, 30 restaurants and 800,000 square feet of shops and homes.
