| December 31, 2008 | | Real estate development raises controversy near Pomerelle | Pomerelle ski area is located in land that is virtually wilderness. However, the success of Sun Valley (the nation's first European-style ski resort) is causing some to think that the Pomerelle ski area could see similar success.
However, development in Howell Canyon is a controversy, since it includes Forest Service land and residents who are wary of real estate development. Magic Valley Times-News sums up the issue of Howell Canyon real estate development:
"I think the Forest Service is sitting on a $20 million resort," he
said. "That's why I think the subdivision (Howell Canyon Estates) was
proposed. Otherwise, there would be no reason to propose it and some of
the other“subdivision plans in Albion."
In the past, driving to
Pomerelle offered nothing but wilderness scenery. Now, shortly before
arriving at the ski resort, a sprawling home next to a sign announcing
lots for sale obstructs some of the view. | | |
