Imagine a Hilton Hotel where the Hillcrest Golf Course is now with a zip line and cable car from the “Top of the Hilton” clubhouse to the “bumps” in downtown Durango.
And similar transportation to formerly Ewing Mesa, later renamed Durango Mesa Park (Feb. 11, “Durango Mesa Park plan gets nod from City Council”) where an innovative campus of electric mountain bike scientists are developing electrical helicopters and planes that will fly straight up and horizontal to destinations unknown at present.
The institute will have pods of condos to house the engineers, surrounding a spectacular green golf course with no trees to hoard water, a fully sustainable mesa complex. And no longer known as Durango Mesa Park, but rightfully named with honor as the “Marc Katz Hillcrest Memorial to the Future.”
Then imagine similar but more affordable living pods on the hill’s crest above Durango surrounding the Hilton and nearby campus previously known as Fort Lewis, but which now includes an innovative cultural center for developing sustainable, affordable lifestyles and wellness health centers.
No grass to hoard the water and green replaced with modern, earth-friendly architecture and materials with a new name, the Institute of Mental Wellness Health and Innovation, IWHI.
