JCMO Mayor adds details about new hotel, conference center

You may see a new downtown hotel and conference center go up in downtown Jefferson City. Mayor Ron Fitzwater says the plan is to tear down the Madison St. parking garage and build a 200 – room hotel along with an attached 36,000 square foot meeting center …

A new public – private parking garage would be part of the plan. The city has unsuccessfully worked to get a dedicated convention center for years only to ultimately turn down proposals from several developers.
