Sounds like the city will set up a DASH pass for the workers.

Though the builds have staggered start dates -- Christman's under way with its three-phase office, retail, hotel and parking project -- there will be significant overlap in the coming years.

I had heard hotel, but I thought it was just a rumor. It's a great idea!

Wow! Nice catch mgreven. I too had heard hotel, but it sounds like it's real.

I am guessing the Hotel will be for people who are visiting the hospital for an extended period of time?

Correct...and visiting VAI speakers etc.

I think a hotel fits the vision I heard before for Grand Rapids, a Cleveland Clinic/Mayo clinic competitor. A health care destination.

There are two beautiful hotels that I am aware of on the Cleveland Clinic campus.
