Perception of Starkville

[Mjoelner34]

..... Needs more hotels as well.

Speaking of hotels:
1. I read a story last year where LINK, the Golden Triangle economic development council, said that Starkville was short 300 hotel rooms.
2. I believe I read where an 85 room hotel is going in behind Academy Sports.
3. What is the status of the hotel MSU was supposed to build on Col. Muldrow in the Cotton District?


Actually, 1 and 2 are from the same article:

From The Dispatch:
"The 85-room hotel would take about $10 million to build, Higgins said. It would sit on a vacant lot between Academy Sports and Hollywood Premier Cinema.

If built, it would knock a dent in what the LINK estimates is a 300-room shortage in Starkville’s hotel capacity. That is most notable on Mississippi State University football game days, Higgins said, but those are far from the only days hotels are full."
