[GBlist] Destiny USA - Green Building

[Donna Watkins <donna@theherbsplace.com>]

I just noticed this in a newsletter I get.  I'm rather new to the list so it
may have been mentioned before, but I thought it was a very interesting
read!


The World's Largest Resort Powered by Windmills &
Solar Panels is Coming to my Neck of the Woods!

Have you heard about DestiNY USA?

Opening in Syracuse, NY in 2004, DestiNY USA will
not only be the largest resort/hospitality center in the
world, but it will also be powered with alternative
types of energy including solar panels, fuel cells,
windmills and other alternative energy systems.

Robert Congel, the developer and manager of the
Pyramid Companies (the largest shopping center
developer in the Northeast), has promised that
DestiNY USA will be the largest green building in the
world by using no fossil fuel energy!

Many alternative energy experts, including the Rocky
Mountain Institute (listed in our links directory at the
site) have helped with the design of this mammoth
project!

Because of the sheer size of the new facility, a 300
acre energy center will need to be built, which not only
means new jobs, but it also means the focus on these
types of energy will now be in the spotlight! This is
great news for those of us who have dreamed about the
possibilities of making our own electricity, but have not
be financially able to get started. With more & more
folks wanting alternative energy, the prices will become
much more competitive for us as consumers!

We so enjoy our 4 seasons here in Upstate, NY, but
the thought of having such a facility to enjoy during the
cold winter months is something we are excited about!

Have a look at some of the things that will be housed
under one roof!

15 million total square feet of space
4,000 hotel rooms
65 acre indoor park
Golf Course
World's Largest Marine Life Aquarium
6 Story Rock & Ice Climbing Wall
Broadway Shows
15,000 Seat Amphitheater
Winter Garden
30 Restaurants & Cafes
Over 400 Retailers and Activities
International Fashion
Replicas of the NY attractions - including a
1,200 ft. Erie Canal & Niagara Falls

We are looking forward to the new center & encourage
you to come visit us in 2004!

Take a peek at the project yourself!
