This has been moving forward steadily. The LCRA approved the tax abatement request last month (90% for 10 years). Behind the scenes, Hawkeye has moved this up to be one of their higher priorities. Right now, they plan on tarting construction after the neighboring LeMeridien hotel is completed this Fall. The Moxy will create 40 full time jobs and 10 part time jobs.
Cost has risen to $18 Million. Supposedly, the project is now out to bid with contractors. They are hoping for a late 2019 start.
I am really excited about this. Somewhere you mentioned this will start after Le Meridian is completed, but I don't know anything about that hotel being built. Can you point me in the right direction for information? Many thanks for all of this information.
