That vision was rendered even more ambitious when it was decided that it wouldn't be built with taxpayers' money and would be totally self-supporting. An exhaustive feasibility study was conducted, the results of which filled 30 pages and found the project viable. Obviously, that homework has paid off. Eagle Ridge contains eight conference rooms, five meeting rooms, a 200-seat auditorium and an executive board room. Eagle Ridge offers on-site trainers in areas such as communications, management and computer software.
Organizations are also free to supply their own instructors if so desired.
Eagle Ridge's hotel contains 54 rooms and suites, with three dining rooms and a flexible menu. Built on 28 rolling acres overlooking a pristine fishing lake, the center has an 18-hole golf course, exercise room, access to tennis and swimming and a walking trail. Eagle Ridge's future remains bright. It has become so popular that the facility is routinely booked six to 18 months out. Currently, its calendar is almost entirely full through March.
