Hamptons Luxury Homes DWD Project’s Economic Impact Study Completed   

Proposed Northway Island Project To Bring $965 Million in Direct and Indirect Spending During Construction Phase with Creation of a Net Total of 12,051 new Jobs in Tri-County Region

Bridgehampton, NY., December 19, 2007 – Hamptons Luxury Homes (OTCBB:HLXH) whose wholly-owned subsidiary DWD Construction is the Owner’s Representative for the multi-million North Country Entertainment Complex planned for upstate New York,  today announced that the economic impact analysis for this proposed resort project concludes that 12,051 new jobs in the tri-county region will be created during the six-year construction phase of the project.  In addition to the new jobs, some of which will last for the entire six-year period, some $965 million in direct and indirect spending is expected to be injected into the area’s economy during the construction phase of the project.  DWD Construction is a 10 percent owner of this project.

The economic impact analysis, a major step in moving forward with the Northway project, was conducted by Bridge Associates and is based on an expanded plan for a resort center to include the following:

  1. A Gaming Casino
  2. A 30,000 seat, ¾ mile motor sports oval, possibly enclosed to reduce noise to the community
  3. ¼ mile Dragstrip
  4. A Golf Course
  5. A Water and Amusement park
  6. Hotels that would serve the resort
  7. An Equestrian Center
  8. An Amphitheater

DWD Construction noted that the resort center is an expansion of the original speedway plan.  According to the study, when completed and in operation, the revenues from the operation, as projected by Northway “are expected to generate $165 million in annual direct and indirect economic activity in the region.  This economic activity is expected to create a net total of 3,480 new jobs in the region on a continuing basis.” 

Frank Dalene (President) of DWD Construction and Vice President of Hamptons Luxury Homes said:  “This project has evolved to encompass plans for a full-scale entertainment complex that will have the potential to be a destination resort for individuals from a 200-mile radius.  Although the study is based on the current plans and nothing has yet been finalized, we anticipate that we will be submitting our application for a Planned Unit Development sometime in early 2008.”
Northway Island Associates has already secured the land needed to carry out the project and with the economic impact analysis completed, will continue to execute on Phase I of the approval process.
