A four- or five- star hotel would be the centerpiece of Dillon according to a vision that developer Jake Porritt laid out Tuesday night, June 20, for the Dillon Town Council.
While Porritt was met with caution from a council that has seen other major projects flounder, some members also expressed varying levels of excitement to have a willing developer at the table. Still, Mayor Carolyn Skowyra raised major concerns about the project, and members of the public and the council overwhelmingly said that the proposal would be too big for Dillon.
“This is a legacy piece of real estate that really can be a unique ornament on Dillon, or it can be the opposite,” Porritt said. “In order to accomplish that beautification, it requires certain elements that right now don’t exist in the town. We are attempting in one vision — this is one vision — to describe a mechanism to get there.”
The hotel, located on waterfront property where the Best Western now stands at 652 Lake Dillon Drive, would be accompanied by a new indoor amphitheater managed in tandem with the town’s outdoor amphitheater to attract corporate bookings, Porritt said.
To accomplish the vision, Porritt said he has to convince bonding agencies that he has a reliable revenue stream so that they’ll put up the capital for him to purchase the land and complete the construction.
