Urschel Develpoment Corporation is preparing to break ground on the Grand Gardner Hotel. This 58-room hotel will be built utilizing the original Gardner School building built in 1899. Most recently the Boys and Girls Club called the Gardner School home until their new location opened in 2022.
The Grand Gardner Hotel will contain guest suites and an attic speakeasy as well as banquet space, in order to make the new hotel a community asset.
The project is set to begin construction later this year and be completed by the end of 2024. The total investment is expected to cost almost $40 million and create the equivalent of 24 full-time jobs, as well as 68 construction jobs.
