Plans for the construction of a Holiday Inn Express & Suites on Washington Village Drive have been approved. The hotel will be built using “green” technologies and will be energy-efficient.
The plans call for the $10 million, four-story hotel to be built using “green” technologies and to be energy-efficient.
“We are trying to get this hotel classified as green as much as we possibly can,” said Bob Ritter, vice president of operations for Middletown Hotel Management in Centerville. “We are putting solar panels on our roof, energy wheels to reclaim air and bring it back into our hotel — even our shell structure is going to have a foam insulation (insulated concrete forms).”
Ritter said the project will cost an estimated $350,000 to $400,000 more to create those efficiencies.
The hotel will include a sidewalk at Washington Village Drive. It will be built on two acres and have 111 rooms, an indoor pool, fitness room and meeting assembly room. There will be 118 parking spaces.
The hotel is scheduled to open next summer.
