Apparently there is already electric outlets available up there.
And as for signal, we have yet to even pick out a projector.

I wouldn't recommend a mototized mount unless you need to get the projector out of the way. One less thing to maintain.
Since you say that you don't have a projector yet, does that mean you haven't picked out a screen? As stated previously, that can greatly affect your choice of projector.
As for a projector, I recommend going with DLP since it has a sealed light engine (dust is your enemy). Though it is probably outside your budget, Panasonic makes some nice projectors that have this nifty self cleaning filter (won't do well in situations with fog/haze, just good for dust).
As for the electricity already being there, just make sure it's clean power. The other issue you may run into is if your source is not sharing a ground with your projector you may get hum bars (which can be eliminated, just something to think about).
