The Hay Street Parking Deck s unfinished story doesn t yet have an ending.
Jordan Jones, project manager with PCH Development Co., acknowledges it: saying the project has been in the works for even a little bit is a stretch. A little bit s a nice way to put it, he said with a laugh. It s a long journey.
Progress on the project, which is expected to eventually be a parking deck with an office space and a Hyatt Place Hotel on top, has crept slowly since it was approved several years ago.
The COVID-19 pandemic hindered the progress, and despite having financing, a general manager and a building permit secured to start building the two towers, construction had to be paused in March of last year, Jones said.
Fayetteville City Council added more than half a million dollars to the cost of Segra Stadium and an accompanying entertainment venue at its meeting Monday night.
An additional $591,000 was added to the project to cover costs associated with punch list items and finishing Hurley Plaza, Mayor Mitch Colvin said Monday prior to the meeting.
Around 5% of the initial $40.7 million in funds for the project were held in reserve until some construction was finished, and the list had hundreds of items, including patching up broken concrete and fixing water intrusion, Colvin said.
The cost addition in Monday s meeting included that 5%, plus the cost to complete the plaza, he said.
