HILLSDALE, MI (WTVB) – Downtown Hillsdale is getting an economic shot in the arm, with a $2 million dollar grant from the Michigan Strategic Fund to restore the blighted Keefer Hotel into a 34-room boutique hotel.
The historical renovation project will include commercial space on the ground floor as well as hotel space with modern amenities and an upscale restaurant.
According to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $12.3 million, create 50 full-time equivalent jobs, and will renovate a long-vacant, historic building into a new hotel that will generate new tourist stays and bring additional revenue to the area.
