Since Cobblestone Hotel and Suites had its groundbreaking almost two months ago in Jefferson, the three-story project is starting to take shape.

President of Development for BriMark Builders, LLC Jeremy Griesbach says they have completed underground utilities and poured the foundation.  He points out that crews are working on installing rough carpentry of the first floor with all three loors to be enclosed by Memorial Day.  Following that will be plumbing and electrical.

The 37,000-square foot, $5.3 million project includes 73 rooms, an indoor swimming pool, a workout and laundry room and free wifi.

The hotel will be connected to Wild Rose Jefferson with a walk-through hallway.  There will also be a circle approach to the hotel and Griesbach adds that Cobblestone will use the casino’s parking lot.  He notes that cold weather slowed them down for concrete in the beginning, but they are making up time with the warmer weather.

Griesbach believes they are still on target to have the hotel completed by August 1st.
