New Hotel Downs Town Amid Union Plaza Plans
County and state officials eyed a Tri Government Complex on the Union Plaza site with a 500 seat showroom, depot, terminal, shops, parking, and hotel. Union Pacific head John Godfrey blocked land purchase, stating cost concerns as railroad plans for an industrial complex move forward. The project would create about 1000 jobs and draw 2500 bus and 500 rail passengers daily to the hotel. Union Pacific, a $2 billion asset line, would become Nevada’s largest hotel operator as it expands into hospitality.
