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!
