This project is coming along great, so we just wanted to celebrate it and we wanted to celebrate it with the community. So, yeah, giving everybody a chance to come and make their mark, put their name on our new hotel.”

The final beam will be put into place Wednesday, June 7 at 10 a.m. in a topping out ceremony.
