Red Top Ski Resort in Question

The bill that would have allowed significant tax exemptions for investors and developers to build a million-square-foot indoor ski resort proposed for Red Top Mountain was vetoed this week by Govorner Sonny Perdue.  While no response has been heard from developer Steve Winters, it is unclear whether the project will move forward or not.  This venture could bring 2,000 jobs to our double digit unemployment rate, and millions in revenue to the local economy.  Stay on the lookout for more news surrrounding this possibility for Bartow County.

Duck Derby 9 coming this weekend, May 15, 2010!

Don’t miss out on the 9th Annual Duck Derby contest this weekend.  Around town at local businesses you can buy ducks for $5 for the race down the Etowah River.  If you have the winning duck, you’ll receive a brand new Kia Soul!  This great annual event supports Advocates for Children in Bartow County.  Friday night will feature a concert, car show and corn hole tournament.  Additionally there are activities all day on Saturday including a 5K race, food and lots of activities at the Riverside Day Use Area.  The main event starts at 2pm so don’t be late to cheer your duck down the river!

Help Support Sherri’s Hat Shop

The note below is from one of our client’s, Carol Bruner.  Please help support this great cause!

“I need your help.  Most of my life I’ve dreamed of having a business creating and making something that would be fun and needed.  Recently, I’ve been working on starting a non-profit organization, Sherri’s Hat Shop, which would provide custom made hats for children with hair loss from chemotherapy.  It is named in honor of my sister-in-law, Sherri, who has been dealing wtih cancer and the consequences of chemo.  A few photos are attached for you to see some of the designs. 

I’ve entered the idea in a contest sponsored by Pepsi, who instead of spending money on Super Bowl ads is giving grant money each month this year to new ideas.  These ideas get voted on throughout the month.  So I’m asking for your votes every day in April.  It’s fairly easy to do.

Go to www.refresheverything.com

On the bottom left corner of the home page, click the “log in” button.  Then sign in (you only have to do this once), and you’ll be taken back to the home page where you can submit your vote.

There are 4 categories based on different award amounts.  Click on the $25,000 category and the top 10 will show up.  The goal is to be in the top 10!  If Sherri’s Hat Shop is not yet in the top 10, just enter the word “hats” in the search window on the top right and it will take you to my entry.  There you can read more about the idea, goals, photos and how the money will be spent (about 40% of the grant money will go toward making a “kid-friendly” interactive website where each child/teen can design his/her own hat).  Then submit your vote!  You can vote for 10 ideas each day, but remember, if you vote for another idea in the $25,000 category it more or less cancels out your vote for Sherri’s Hat Shop.

I’d greatly appreciate your vote everyday in April and passing this on to as many people as you wish.  I’m not a competitive person (except for Boggle and Scrabble) until now, so I’ll probably be sending daily reminders to vote.  They’ll be very brief reminders and it should only take 2 minutes of your day to vote.”

Bartow County potential site of ski dome attraction

Developer Steven Winters of SRW Interational, LLC has his eye on a 750 acre tract on Red Top Mountain at Lake Allatoona for a ski dome attraction that could possibly bring 2,000 jobs to Bartow County.  This attraction would feature a huge 1 million square foot ski dome, three hotels, restaurants and shops.  You could potentially water ski and snow ski all in the same day.  This type of tourist attraction would put to work over 1/3 of the unemployed in Bartow County and help stimulate the local economy tremendously.

The developer is lobbying to get Georgia lawmakers to pass a bill that would allow for the first 25% of the sales taxes from the resort to go back to the developer for the cost of their capital investment.  Bills like this have been vetoed in the past, so getting it passed will take some work.  Keep your eyes open for what develops for this potential tourist attraction!
