The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mountain Iron here announced plans to build an adjoining 10,000-square-foot conference and event center, the Duluth News Tribune reported.
The developer had planned to include the conference center as part of the hotel’s initial construction but the project was scaled back because of the recession. The hotel opened in June.
Plans also call for the new facility to include a prep kitchen and small pub. The convention center is forecast to be completed by late summer or early fall 2010.
