Project Description

Designing a world-class destination resort in Eastern Kentucky to inspire four-season vibrancy and drive regional economic growth.

MXD in collaboration with Stantec created a Destination Resort Master Plan for 700+ acres of land in scenic Eastern Kentucky. The Master Plan was informed by a thorough market analysis of accommodation, resort residential, and extensive amenities. A progressive and implementable plan was developed with input from a Local Advisory Board, and extensive public and stakeholder outreach. The resort will provide 4.5 star hotel accommodation, conference and meeting space, a craft distillery, equestrian facilities, resort residential lots, and extensive trails and open space. The resort will help generate four season vibrancy, extending stays of visitors and increasing economic expenditures, while creating over 300 direct jobs in the region.
