Still No Progress for new Hotel in Richmond

RICHMOND, MINECRAFT

The project for the new Cobblestone Inn & Suites Hotel at the Richmond Shopping Center on Market Street appeared to be abandoned rather then starting construction. The project was announced in July, 2019 and didn’t start construction until August, 2019, in late August, construction appeared to have abruptly stopped. 2 months later, Cafaro Company announced that a payment from the hotel company needed to go through before construction could even start, Cafaro said construction for the new hotel would start again on November 1st. A month goes by and almost to January, the hotel has looked the same since it first started in August about 4 months ago. Even grass is starting to grow inside and outside of the proposed site. We contacted Cafaro Company to no response. “The only thing they did was put walls up for the new hotel, but that was already finished in August.” says Mark Johnson of Richmond who works at the Gertrude Hawk store at Richmond Shopping Center. No word has been announced either from the owners of the Cobblestone Inn & Suites, so everybody is assuming that the project has went abandoned, but only time will tell.
