Arlington seeks new upscale motel

Having a new upscale hotel is one way that the Arlington city manager feels the area could maximize its potential, and he is hoping to attract developers to the area with that goal in mind.

The city is already home to the AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Park, aswell as the Arlington Convention Center, and hopes are that if there were more convention class hotel spaces available, it would attract even more large meetings to the area. It could also encourage people to choose to stay in the city when they visit the area’s theme parks and other attractions. This could prove to be a big tax boon to the community.

The most likely place for this new development to be situated would be the public land that sits near the current Arlington Convention Center in the entertainment district, which would make it convenient for those who choose to stay there. The city has also expressed an interest in finding a firm to manage and operate the Centre on a contractual basis.

This type of growth can have large spin off benefits for businesses in the surrounding area. Companies that provide services such as banner printing would likely see an increase in the amount of need for their products to be used at the conventions, meetings, and other large corporate and private events.
