CityMarket Backdrop for Mayor's Announcement

 Mayor Gray chose CityMarket at O to roll out his 5-year economic development plan using the swinging construction cranes of the CityMarket at O in Shaw as the backdrop for the announcement.  The Mayor cited CityMarket and O for the creativity and vision in redeveloping the site with its "one of a kind" 75,000 square foot Giant, 182-room Cambria Suites hotel, 400 market rate units and 90 affordable units for seniors. 

With its 400 construction jobs and 400 full time jobs, he pointed to the project as one of many economic initiatives in an ambitious five-year plan to bring $1 billion in new tax revenue to the city and create 100,000 jobs.
