LaSalle approves agreement with hotel developers

LASALLE -Alderman voted to approve an ordinance approving a redevelopment agreement between LaSalle and Kaskaskia Development, LLC, and CL Real Estate Development, LLC at Monday night’s city council meeting. Although some alderman expressed concern for parking at the hotel, Nathan Watson, general manager of CL Real Estate Development, explained the hotel’s lot, along with valet parking, should ensure that there’s still plenty of parking left in the city. Others also said they doubted that the project would be completed, as the dates for completion continue to be pushed back, but Watson argued that projects such as this have so many moving parts that it’s often difficult to stick to a set schedule.
