Running G Construction has been at the Hotel this week and obtained a brick sample.

We have approved brick they found that is a close match.

They are arranging a temporary electric hookup with AEP.

They plan to have someone on site Monday to start work.

These are all little steps but we are finally starting to see some progress on the rebirth of the hotel!

On Tuesday the Vinton County Commissioners awarded the $700,000. Brownfield Remediation grant bid for the Hotel McArthur to Running G Farms and Construction of Patriot Ohio.

The project bid also included stabilization work making the total bid amount $1,483,100. The bid was designed in this manner to prevent some work having to be repeated.

Last night the CVB approved the $783,100. for the rest of the stabilization work of this bid package. This will be paid out of the 5 Million Dollar HUD grant.

Attached is a 90 day Target Window presented by Running G with a 30 day float period included.

We are anxious for this to begin. Running G says they will start as quickly as possible!

One of the first things they will do is remove the addition outlined in red on the aerial photo. This will give them a place to load debris for removal.

We appreciate the 4 firms that bid on this phase of the project!

We hope those firms stay interested in the project. There is much more to do after this phase is completed!

For area food establishments. We hope you plan to take advantage of the need for these workers to have a place to eat! This overall project is going to go at least until the end of 2027. It should give those businesses a chance for some extra business.

We will continue to post updates on the progress as they become available!

Yesterday at noon was the pre bid meeting at the Hotel McArthur for the Brownfield Remediation project.

This project is to cleanup and stabilize the building for the construction phase of the project.

From the photos you can see that there was a lot of interest in the project from multiple contractors.

Bids have to be submitted by September 25th.

This part of the project is being paid for by a Brownfield Remediation Grant obtained from the state thru the Vinton County Development Department and the Vinton County Commissioners!

We thank them for their assistance!

In the meeting all were told that this is a project that we want started as soon as possible.

We are looking forward to some physical work soon.

In the meantime, Ken Reed and Audie Games have been meeting with ODNR and HUD. Our construction grants are in place. As soon as the remediation work is done. We will start the final design plans with architects Schooley Caldwell. The 2 ladies in 2 of the photos are representatives from Schooley Caldwell and are coordinating the remediation with the construction.

Stellar Films Motion Pictures is in McArthur.

Before the cleanup crews roll in and transformation begins, you have to capture where the story started.
Stephen Mineer and I (Dakota Dunn) recently met up with Randy Yates at Hotel McArthur to gather raw footage of the fire aftermath. Capturing these visuals before the restoration process kicks off gives us the perfect baseline for the upcoming Hotel McArthur Remodel Show.
While in town, we also stopped by the McArthur Fire Department for an insightful crash course with the famous and talented movie star, Randy Yates; huge respect to them for the work they do! 🧑‍🚒🔥
Check out a few behind-the-scenes shots from our trip. Lots more exciting updates from Stellar Films coming soon!
If all goes to plan, we hope to have a 10 episode season of the rebuild start to finish. Maybe even more episodes, all depends on scheduling.
