Oshtemo Township has approved the $4 million plan to remodel the current Holiday Inn and an adjacent, vacant bowling alley into a new conference center. There are no known site contaminants, but the project will still be receiving BRA dollars because the bowling alley space is considered a "functionally obsolete" property. The revamped property will become a Delta Hotel by Marriott. Holiday Inn will be moving into a new hotel being constructed on the other side of US-131 as part of AVB's "Westgate" development.
