Downtown Owatonna Hotel Groundbreaking Set
The Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism (OACCT) announces Thursday June 3 at 5 pm as the groundbreaking ceremony on the transformational projects downtown, as indicated in the
Tuesday Talk e-newsletter. It s celebrating $30 million invested in the new Marriott Courtyard Hotel, restaurant, Pearl Apartments, Old Town Bagels and Streetscape project. The public is invited to attend.
That groundbreaking event comes on the heels of a similar happening at the site of the new Owatonna High School in early May. Chamber members helped moved the first shovels of dirt on the $104 million campus.
The
Chamber Ambassadors presented OHS senior Jenna Gleason with the 24th annual Ted G. Ringhofer Memorial Scholarship, honoring the longtime chamber president and Owatonna City Councilman.

Owatonna High School held a National Signing Day celebration to recognize 18 student-athletes that have committed to play sports while attending college. It is a cross-section of sports, educational interests and levels of college. Signings represent NCAA Divisions I, II and III, plus NAIA Division II and National Junior College level.
Wednesday was a day for smiles and congratulatory messages. The work of balancing college life, college courses and college athletics will come later. Several other OHS student-athletes are expected to join their classmates but hadn t made a final decision yet.
Several students I spoke with said picking a college or university for their desired field of study was first priority. Some reached out to coaches at their schools of interest. In some cases coaches reached out to them through a variety of ways. Some students may have had a campus visit, but not all, due to the pandemic.
