From the Morning News:

“Another phase of downtown revitalization is underway as site preparation for a new five story Hyatt Place hotel began with tree removal by Lake City-based L & B Developers.

Site supervisor Chris Bunton of Aiken-based general contractor Gilliam & Associates said Wednesday they removed several crepe myrtles on Tuesday and will likely be done removing willow oak trees along East Evans Street by day’s end. All told, he thinks construction could begin in four months.

The $15 million, 103-room hotel is being developed by SpringBridge Development and will be managed by Raines Hospitality. It is slated to open in the first quarter of 2018.”
