The setback dimmed hopes for downtown hotels near the center, with only two landscaped parking lots at Fourth and Grant seen as last year’s development. City officials discussed a police and courts building but with no timetable. Granada Royale hotel plans, unrelated to the center, remain in fund-raising and feasibility stages with location and timing undetermined.
