PETERSBURG, Va.
A $50 million hotel and conference center could be coming to downtown Petersburg soon, if all goes according to plan.
Petersburg Mayor Brian Moore and Virginia State University President Dr. Keith Miller today announced that the city and local university have formed an economic development partnership to explore the feasibility of a hotel-convention center in the city of Petersburg.
"A hotel-convention center is key to Petersburg's plan for the complete revitalization of the Downtown, Old Towne and Harbor areas," Moore said.
Added Miller, "Virginia State University is committed to contributing to the growth of Petersburg and the region through partnerships."
