Project Description

Adaptive reuse of local landmark as a boutique hotel and centerpiece of downtown revitalization efforts.

“We’re excited about it,” said Kimberly Christner, president and CEO of Cornerstone and a partner in the project. “It’s been a long road, and we’ve been silent, but we would just say the same things trying to get it all lined up. There are a lot of moving parts to getting a deal like this done, and we don’t want to go into it when it’s not financially viable. We wanted to make sure we had all our ducks in a row; that it was beautiful, not only a great compliment for downtown, a big draw for downtown and be a financially stable project.” [Quote via Herald Courier]
