I really feel the year round residents would rally behind a refurbished resort, and seasonal residents would make winter visits. Property values in Cleveland would rise. I still believe if A new owner somehow incorporates the community by offering memberships or discounts, or the county and/or state government were to offer some aid in the form of tax breaks or other incentives, then the resort will have a chance not just reopen, but actually survive and florish. Creativity will be the key. I really hope this thing flies this time. I was so dissapointed when I heard foots closed, and I know that the problems at the loaf where the main cause of that.

A lot of people, skiers and workers alike, have been gritting their teeth on the future of the resort ever since it shut down almost eight years ago. If the new owners go into this knowing just how much time, money, and work the property is going to need to become viable again, then we will see something good come out of this. If the new owners host a public forum on the future of the resort once they decide to make themselves known, I plan on being there with resume in hand. If this gets off the ground, I would love to be a part of it. I sure hope it flies this time.
