The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will hold a Vendor Forum for Denton Hill State Park in Potter County.

With $10 million in capital improvements earmarked for the requisite site improvements necessary to support downhill skiing at the park and the completion of the Park Master Plan, DCNR is now seeking input from interested vendors regarding additional development at the 700-acre park.

The forum discussion topics will include:

-- Review of current and future site enhancement

-- Current industry standards and best management practices

-- Vendor community insight and expertise

The forum is designed to encourage vendors to consider expanding their scope of operation, and include proposals for innovative four-season recreational opportunities and amenities when solicitation for proposals is issued in 2019.

Vendors are invited to provide their perspective about how to best utilize the commonwealth’s investment, and to help develop a viable vision that includes four-season recreational operation at Denton Hill.

All vendors are encouraged to participate in a tour of the facilities following the forum. Additional information about the vendor forum and master plan is available at the Denton Hill State Park webpage.

The Vendor Forum will be held at the ski lodge at Denton Hill State Park, Route 6, Ulysses, Potter County starting at 10:00 a.m. Interested parties should R.S.V.P by December 3 to Judy Deiter, 717-705-3958 or send email to: jdeiter@pa.gov.
