Business : 11th Street, Cobblestone Inn hotel nearing completion

The new Cobblestone Inn & Suites hotel will be open this summer, says Dave Wessling.

The new 11th Street west of K Avenue should be completed at about the same time as then new hotel.

The new 11th Street, from Highway 218 (North K Avenue) west past the new Cobblestone Inn & Suites hotel, is due for completion at about the same time as the hotel: June 1.

Vinton CIty Coordinator Andy Lent said the street will cost approximately $143,000 plus $30,000 in engineering fees. The street has been shaped and covered with gravel. Stakes marked with different colors indicate to the engineers the location of storm sewers and other essential parts of the project.

The funding for the project comes through Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funding from the West 1 TIF district, said Lent.

Dave Wessling of Iowa Land Management said the hotel remains on schedule for a June opening.
