<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>The proposed new hotel:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>It will add some service jobs to the local
economy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>It might add some short term construction jobs locally depending on who the
contractors are.</DIV>
<DIV>It will add some additional revenue during construction.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>It will fill that ugly gap on Pullman Road which
gives the impression to some of a dying community.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>It will keep income and tax receipts in Idaho as
opposed to the hotels proposed in Pullman and in the ghostly Hawkins
Mall.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>It will add some needed lodging capacity for both
Moscow and Pullman not only for the Jazz Festival but for graduation and
athletic events.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>It will bring more customers for Moscow
restaurants, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>This along with WalMart's decision to redo their
Moscow store is probably the death knell for the proposed Hawkins Mall, a
Idaho income and tax revenue sucking proposal. The local champion of
this project, ally/investment enticer for the Hawkins Group, and the same,
a politician who has an exhibited conflict of interest in this
matter will most likely suffer a loss of face and standing among certain
investors and now likely to be former political allies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>I hope no local government funds or tax breaks
have been promised here. And I hope the traffic engineering for the site
is very carefully and intelligently planned.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Ellen,</DIV>

<DIV>That's a different project. This one is at the old Wally Orvik site.
There have been rumblings about it for a couple years now. I'm glad to see it's
coming to fruition (as I'm sure a lot of Jazz Festers are as
well!)<BR><BR>DC</DIV>
