PROJECT WILL INVEST $44 MILLION IN DOWNTOWN OWENSBORO

Owensboro leaders today confirmed a $44 million redevelopment project planned for downtown Owensboro that will add a new hotel and retain more than 200 high paying corporate headquarter jobs in a new office downtown.

The $44 million private investment is the latest project announced as a result of the market-based downtown plan, approved by Owensboro-Daviess County governments in 2009 resulting in $120 million in publicly funded infrastructure and amenities to reinvent downtown Owensboro as a walkable, mixed use urban center. A $20 million Hampton Inn and Suites will break ground on March 13. Over $76 million in public investment has already been announced.
