September 3, 2009--Wolf Creek development is still slumbering (Durango Herald)

While there has been little news about the Village at Wolf Creek since the abandonment of the initial project almost a year ago in November, Red McCombs has not given up on his grandiose dream of constructing the highest elevation city in America, atop one of the snowiest locations in Colorado at Wolf Creek Pass. Given the current economic climate for second-home real estate, he's probably fortunate the Village tanked when it did. McCombs and gang are now angling for a land exchange to avoid all that annoying public scrutiny associated with environmental impact statements and whatnot.  You might recall, his last proposal was torpedoed over the gross deficiencies in the environmental report about the environmental consequences associated with granting his project a road easement from U.S. Highway 160 across intervening national forest land to McCombs' development parcel. Some of these concerns involved the impacts to dozens of acres of high-elevation wetlands.
