The first project is always one of, if not the most, important projects as we talk about the grand vision of our central corridor project. Seeing the first pieces of this come to fruition is really exciting."

Mayor AbouAssaly told guest in attendance, "The first project out of the gate had to be something that was significant and substantial, something that would set the standard and drive the redevelopment of the entire area. This {TownePlace Suites Marion} is what we were hoping for, a really wonderful hotel, a quality hotel in our central business district which will be a catalyst and game changer!

Ben Kinseth told guests more about the coming hotel, "88 rooms that we're building in this TownePlace Suites by Marriott, there will be a kitchenette in every room. If you want to stay 30 nights, this hotel will be perfect for you, if you want to stay 1 night it's just as perfect for you.
