Hmmmm...I wonder where this is?
And I only saw about 25-50 guys working on it a month ago. I wonder where the other "hundreds" of employees are at?

Not sure what your point is. You don't think that the Hotel has a great view of both the mountain and the Gap? And how did your count the 25-50 guys working? Did you go inside and count them by each floor?? My understanding is that they have 40-50 plumbers alone working there every day.
The point was that she massacred the name. That was fairly obvious.
Well, I did not see hundreds of people working there. I think I know what hundreds of people look like.
Why so testy?
EB5 is not "federally backed". Should have stuck with discussing skiing.
Where do those workers park their vehicles?
Not skiing related:
Speaking of plumbers, a close friend is a well known plumber in the area who was asked about heading up to work on the hotel, he checked with some other folks that had done some sub work up there and they recommended he stay away as they were still waiting for payment.
That being said, to be fair, if there are hundreds of workers, not saying there are, but if there indeed are hundreds........if they weren't getting paid on time I doubt the hundreds of workers would keep coming back.
I'm also curious where the hundreds of workers are eating lunch everyday.......I just want to avoid the flood into East Burke at lunch time.......

Yes indeed, I cant imagine that those workers would bring a cooler or lunch box of some sort and eat on site.
I still doubt that hundreds of people are physically working at the hotel. 50 or so sure.

who f'n cares if it 25, 50, 75 or 100?
Too bad, would be nice to add something to the local economy.
I figured with hundreds, someone would need a sandwich. Oh well.

The federal government and the investors looking to get a greencard.
:lol:
As said, the EB-5 requirements for job creation. And I'm personally not a fan of hyperbole.

Saturday's Caledonian Record has a nice article about the grooming at Bretton Woods and happenings at all of the local ski areas. Each local area got a section in which they gave a report for the season so far and discussed their closing date.
The article included reports from Bretton Woods, Cannon, Jay Peak, and... well... here is what was said about Q Burke, which the newspaper still calls "Burke Mountain":
Burke Mountain did not respond to requests for information by press time. According to the resort’s website, the last day of the ski season is “projected” to be Sunday, April 5.
Apparently free publicity just isn't worth picking up the telephone for.

Wow. That is a first. They almost always responded to the Cal Rec.
