The city plans new hotel ramp alongside a $75.6 million convention center budget. Two private ramps will be demolished for the project and flood damaged First Street Parkade will be removed. A downtown ramp across First Avenue East recalls an early 2000s Intermodal Transit Facility idea. Corbett notes hotel management firms expect to operate post reopening in November 2012 with several chains showing interest. Crowne Plaza signs came down as the hotel closed. It is projected to be a money maker.
