This hotel looks huge in that space. It dwarfs the Golden Spur.

Umm. I've bee told that 75% of that building is leased out for the first year to Haliburton. They might give you a discount on the Cheney-Palin suite though Kacey.
I'm pretty impressed with the rate that they are getting the thing built.

"Why build a nice hotel to rent to oil workers? You would have to completely remodel it when they moved out. Sorry, but single young men are not known for their tidy habits. They have also announced when they plan to start taking reservations. Why take bookings if the hotel is rented out?
Rumors are always more interesting than reality. In this case, I believe the official announcement. The guy who said it lives here in town, for one thing. It didn't come from "corporate.""
Hey Ricardo:
If Amorette is Rona Barrett, does that make you Tom Snyder???
More like Tom Bodett.... "I'll live the light on for you".

I don't think Miles City leaders even recognize the bargaining power we have when it comes to business being established in our community.
For example. Any big enough business that breaks ground in Miles City could be required to donate a sum of money to Miles City for Enhancement of Recreation here. Clauses could be written in or ordinances could be made. Any business with a large enough amount of land could also be required to donate 10% of the land the purchase to establish walking trails.
Im talking about corporations, man.
Too bad most of the construction is being done by out of town contractors, and very little of the materials purchased locally.......
