Also on that same news letter you will see the state gace some funds to expand a business incubator.

literally any development in this part of the state is a plus.  so a new hotel is a big deal.  There is only one other decent hotel in town, all the rest are rural motels.  It is possible that this cain would put one of those mom and pop motels out of business, there would still likely be a net gain in jobs and also downtown density and of course amenities.
