Dillon Approves Development

The town of Dillon moved one step closer to becoming the home to the highest Harley Davidson dealership in the world this week.

The Dillon Town Council approved a plan by developers to build a retail center and prepare a lot for a family-style restaurant on six acres of vacant land between Blockbuster Video and Comfort Suites hotel.

The new development could be home to a 16,000-square-foot Harley Davidson motorcycle service and sales shop, an Aveda Spa and a Chili's Restaurant.

Local developers Jim Walsh and Dan and Mark McCrerey have letters of intent from all three businesses, but leases have not yet been negotiated, Walsh said.

The group has proposed to split the land - know as Ptarmigan Trail Estates - into six lots. A 25,000-square-foot retail development would sit on two of the lots to potentially house Harley Davidson, Aveda and about nine other small shops. The restaurant would be situated on a third lot next to Comfort Suites, and would be constructed by the lessee. The group does not have immediate plans to develop the other three sites, Walsh said.
