In the recent controversy surrounding the development of a casino and related facilities at Exhibition Place, little mention was made of an agreement Council made in 2009 to lease land there to a boutique hotel operator from New York City. A 'hotel in the park' will be developed on the parking lot between Stanley Barracks and the Allstream Centre [former Automotive Building]. Construction is to begin shortly, following three seasons of archaeology that sets an example of respect for the history and buried resources on the site.
