This is NH, not NY or CT, the speaker is one of 400 reps, elected by their 3000 or fewer constituents, getting paid $100 per year for their services.

must be pissing off the K crowd.
The proposed expansion will probably take about 20 years and the resort will have likely gone through several owners and/or gone bankrupt a few times during the process
Already running into issues....

If he was thinking the state was just going to say yes on his findings and not study it themselves I think he is heading for a whole lot of trouble and should take his whiskey home.
The message to me is pretty clear. Equity investors won't do the deal without some leverage and private lenders won't make the plunge without a viable business or marketable assets to sell if the plan goes belly up. Right now lenders have neither.

Based on posts, not time.

Sunday River is likely the closest to the Balsams and about an hours drive.

I think most people from New England are looking at this upside-down. Most likely the target is Montreal, google map shows trip time of 2:35. Not sure how long it takes to cross the border but got this off the web for the population of greater Montreal….
3,824,221
Greater Montreal is the maist populous metropolitan aurie in Quebec. As o 2009, Statistics Canada identifees Montreal's Census Metropolitan Aurie (CMA). The CMA is 4,258.31 square kilometres (1,644.14 sq mi) lairge an haes a population of 3,824,221 as o 2011.

The question is whether or not the Montreal market is enough. Looking at Jay Peak, I would say that it's a vital segment, but that you need more. The exchange rate doesn't help, either.

Plenty of Canadiens skiing in central VT. this past week, it was vacation week in Canada. Lot's of French being spoken on the lifts. The few I spoke with said they drove south to avoid the crowds. One couple did mention that is was more expensive because of the current exchange rate. Believe they said it's $1.27 now.
So are they funding this with EB-5 money? LBO's friends? Private capital?
