The owners of Vermont’s Mount Snow resort, Peak Resorts, announced plans to redesign the resort’s base area to look more like “an authentic Vermont village,” complete with 900 new housing units.

According to Vermont Public Radio:

Peak Resorts partner Dick Deutsch refers to the main base area as a ‘mishmash of early 1960’s architecture.’ What his company has in mind is something more traditional.

“What we’re trying to do is remodel our rebuilding process around the rural towns and villages that you find in southern Vermont. We’re modeling at least our main base around the town green concept that you find in Newfane and Townshend.”

The company also hopes to build some 900 units of resort housing over the next two or three decades.

Peak Resorts says the project would cost millions, but it’s too soon to say how many. It’s all part of a long-range master plan the resort has just unveiled.

Deutsch says he hopes to apply for conceptual approval under Act 250 this summer.

Laura Sibilia is Executive Director of the Mount Snow Valley Chamber of Commerce. She says the local response has been enthusiastic.
