Hoteliers advocate for funding to market proposed convention hotel - Business First
January 18, 2010

Marketing Columbus as an attractive convention site could fall short if more money isn't found for getting the word out about a planned second convention center hotel.
Franklin County and city officials on March 5 unveiled financing plans for a 500-room, $150 million hotel and conference center on North High Street between Nationwide Boulevard and Vine Street. But three hotel managers in the city said tapping $1.9 million in bed taxes the hotel is projected to generate each year for debt service could hurt efforts to land the larger conventions the newest hotel is designed to attract.
"I couldn't be more excited that they finally figured out a way to get this hotel built, even though it includes redirection of that property's bed tax dollars," said Charles Lagarce, whose Columbus Hospitality LLC operates the Crowne Plaza Hotel near the convention center. "Now we have to figure out how to get the marketing dollars."
Client Testimonial
