Jamestown (CSi) Plans have been moving ahead on a new 108 hotel in Southwest Jamestown, and now construction may begin shortly on the new hotel.

The hotel is a joint venture of Paces Lodging Corporation of Fargo, and Clarice Liechty of Jamestown.

Paces Lodging’s Developer, Darren Trudeau says the location of the hotel is planned directly west of the Buffalo Mall, adjacent to the road leading to the planned Menard’s.

Trudeau adds the hotel will be franchised under one of the Marriott brands, saying the Marriott brand had targeted the Jamestown area for many years.

He says construction on the foundations will begin as soon as building permits are obtained in mid- to late-August, with completion estimated in May or June of 2015.

Ms. Liechty adds that the hotel is planned to include conference rooms, along with a swimming pool with water slide.

Not planned for the hotel at this time is either a restaurant or a bar.

A five-year tax exemption for the property is on the August 4, 2014, City Council meeting agenda, for the estimated $10 million, project.
