Commission hears of possible $8 million Hazen Motorsports expansion and hotel interest
Summary
A commissioner reported interest from businesses and a potential Cobblestone hotel lead; Hazen Motorsports officials discussed an approximately $8 million expansion, which commissioners said could support further local economic development.
During the commission’s reports, a committee member described recent business recruitment activity and interest from potential hotel developers.
The speaker said they had shown local properties to prospective businesses, reported that a new restaurant has opened and noted Hazen Motorsports is planning a significant expansion. "It's about $8,000,000 additions," the committee member said when describing the motorsports facility plans.
Commissioners discussed outreach to a Cobblestone franchise representative and said the existence of a major local amenity and business expansion could strengthen the case for hotel development in the area. The speaker also noted that the city’s annual business meeting will feature local businesses including the Hazen hockey group and could be used to promote recruitment.
No formal commitments or incentives were voted on during the meeting; the discussion was informational and staff were asked to continue follow-up with interested parties.
