ACRA endorses Lift One
The Aspen Chamber Resort Association’s board of director announced last week its endorsement of the Lift One corridor proposal, which goes to voters Tuesday.
The board adopted a resolution in support of the municipal ballot at a monthly meeting held Feb. 26, following presentations the project’s principals and foes.
“The Aspen Chamber has been actively involved for over a decade in supporting a revitalization at the base of Lift 1A. The project on the March 5 ballot will bring a host of new amenities that will enhance our already world-class town, including park space, a lift closer to town, two much-needed hotels, and a ski museum that pays homage to our deep roots as a ski town,” said board chair Cristal Logan in a statement. “Our board carefully considered all sides, and believes the project deserves our support.”
Lift One developers are seeking 320,000 square feet of commercial space, which includes the 107,000-square-foot timeshare project known as the Lift One Lodge and a 64,000-square-foot hotel called the Gorsuch Haus. Other components include bars and restaurants, a ski museum, skiers’ services, an underground parking garage and a new chairlift extending to Dean Street, which is 500 feet farther down the hill than the current Lift 1A.
