MASON CITY, Iowa – The City Council took big steps Tuesday night toward the completion of the River City Renaissance project.
First, council members approved a contract and bond for the construction of a $1.9 million skywalk between Music Man Square and the proposed Hyatt Place Hotel in the current parking lot of Southbridge Mall. In response to a council question on Mason City getting a “skywalk to nowhere,” City Administrator Aaron Burnett says he remains confident in the hotel project and says a groundbreaking date could be announced in June.
