County IDA Approves Al Tech Loan to DoubleTree by Hilton Developers

March 25, 2016 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

DoubleTree by HiltonJAMESTOWN – A hotel renovation project in the city of Jamestown will receive financial assistance from the county.

The Jamestown Post-Journal is reporting that the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency’s Board of Directors approved a $900,000 Al Tech loan and tax incentives for Hamister Group during its meeting earlier this week. The Buffalo-based company owns the former Ramada Inn, located at 150 W. Fourth St. The group is currently planning a $14.2 million renovation of the hotel into a full-service DoubleTree by Hilton.

The loan will cover a 20-year period at an interest rate of 4 percent. A tourism destination payment in lieu of taxes, a sales tax exemption on construction materials and a mortgage reporting tax abatement were also approved.
