(Honey Creek) Pottawattamie Conservation’s Four-Season Master Plan draft for Crescent Hill at Hitchcock, previously Mt. Crescent Ski Area, is now available to the public and includes justification for 14 additional recreational activities, new infrastructure, and community events.
Pottawattamie County Conservation Board President Jerry Mathiasen said they are looking forward to making it a four-season destination while remaining committed to preserving the natural resources of the Loess Hills.
Mathiasen said the plan is broken down into three phases.
Mathiasen said this plan was developed with feedback from over 1,300 citizens.
Plan development, which began in October 2023, was led by renowned ski resort planning agency SE Group. Additional planning and development will be needed to implement plan components which are subject to future economic, environmental, and social factors. There is currently no timeline for the implementation of the plan, however Pottawattamie Conservation is actively seeking funding sources to begin design and engineering work on early phases of the project. Total capital expenditures for the plan are currently estimated at more than $25 million
