Dallas
Investors in The Grand Alps Resort DFW plan to build a $398 million, 1,900-foot-long indoor ski slope on 58 acres in the Dallas suburb of Grand Prairie by 2018. The investment group has raised $100 million through the State Department’s EB-5 program, through which qualified investors can receive visas for investing in projects that create jobs in the U.S. The project received $68 million from private-equity investors and another $35 million from Grand Alps itself, which is also building indoor ski resorts in Brazil, Malaysia, and China. 
This is an amazing idea for me and whoever loves skiing or snowboarding around DFW area. Every winter I have to drive all the way up to New Mexico or Colorado. After the construction finished in 2018, I can enjoy snowboarding all the seasons and do not have to make 12 hours long drive to get ski slopes. The city of Grand Prairie made a good decision, and I believe it will bring good revenue to the city and the community.
