New CC Mulled in Illinois

GALESBURG, Ill.

City officials are reviewing a proposal to buy and renovate the old National Guard Armory into an 80-room hotel and convention center.

Plans include building the largest ballroom, expo and conference room in the region, according to a project overview document. The proposed hotel would be 10 to 12 stories and would include luxury suites.

The facility also could house offices, meeting rooms, a furniture rental facility and a coffee house, according to the document. But McNeair said those are preliminary ideas and are subject to change as the site study continues.
