COLUMBIA, KY (21 Oct 2014) - Before a packed Columbia/Adair County Chamber conference room, Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Board Chairman Dan Antle announced a long awaited groundbreaking date for a new 65 room Sleep Inn Hotel, 320 Dohoney Trace, Holladay Place, Columbia, KY. The event will be at 10amCT, Friday, 24 October 2014. He commended the developers, local businessmen Mike Neal, Tommy Grider and Terry Harvey, and Bowling Green businesman Joe McAdams, who are bring the development to a reality. Antle said that the construction is expected to be completed before the end of 2015. During construction there will be appoximately 75 jobs, and the finished project will employ approximately 25 people.




Antle hailed the project for what it will mean to to the local economy, saying it will bring people to Columbia and hopefully keep them here. He cited the increasing number of options for lodging, the proximity and the impact it will have on the continued success of The Pines at Lindsey Wilson Country Club, and the advantage Columbia will have in recruiting new businesses here.

The new hotel has been badly needed at graduation times for Lindsey Wilson, during fairs and festivals, and at other times when over 100 rooms are needed in the area. Sue Stivers, executive director of the Chamber, told the gathering that the hotel will greatly add to the community's growing tourist business, which she said now is around $1 million per year. Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton, only elected official or candidate at the meeting, joined Chairman Antle, Ms. Stivers, CACEDA Board Members Mark Dykes, Tony Corbin, Randy Burns, and Ann Martin at the session, along with media representatives and Gerald Bryant and Dale McCloud.

The meeting was adjourned just before 9amCT, Tuesday, 21 Oct 2014.
