Catskill hotel project near the Thruway
Summary
Closing on the hotel site is set for September 28 and the building will start going vertical, but the 1.7-acre restaurant pad next door still has no tenant despite outreach to chains like Cracker Barrel, LongHorn and Chipotle — the pad is too small for a Cracker Barrel's three-acre requirement. Hotel visitors would be able to walk over to the pad.

Impact analysis
No county dollars were committed here, but the hotel project is a major private investment that expands the county's lodging tax base and visitation.
Travelers get a new hotel, and nearby restaurants and businesses get more visitors passing through.
