Bakersfield Prepares For Major Downtown Hotel and Galleria
Kern County Business reports a fall 1983 start for a 225 room 25 suite Sheraton Heritage Hotel adjacent to the Bakersfield Civic Auditorium with a 400 room expansion plan tied to 80 percent occupancy. Financing mainly local and a June 1 funding decision are noted, along with a proposed Truxtun Galleria 20 story twin-tower complex that would reshape downtown Bakersfield’s skyline.
