Magic Mountain outlines sustainability upgrades, growth plans and housing concerns
Summary
Geoff Hathaway of Magic Mountain told the Londonderry Planning Commission the resort has shifted to electric snowmaking, expanded staff from about 45 to 100, and is exploring mixed-use development; he warned the resort's wastewater pond is "currently at capacity" and cited local housing shortages for employees.
Geoff Hathaway of Magic Mountain presented to the Planning Commission on the resort’s recent sustainability work and development ideas, describing electric snowmaking upgrades and a staff increase from roughly 45 to about 100 employees. He said Magic Mountain is exploring mixed-use residential and commercial uses for the Dostal Property, as well as expanded summer activities and community-event space.
"The wastewater pond is currently at capacity," Geoff Hathaway said, and he identified employee housing as a pressing constraint given a lack of hotel rooms, few Airbnb options and an ordinance limiting short‑term rentals to 50 days per year. Commissioners asked about wastewater capacity and potential housing solutions; the presentation flagged workforce housing as a cross-cutting issue for future town-plan work and for coordination with One Londonderry.
