$500,000 grant to build hotel in Norwich
NORWICH – On Wednesday, local brothers Mike and Dan O'Reilly received the news that their company, Principle Design and Engineering, has been selected to receive a $500,000 grant to transform the old Morrisville building in downtown Norwich to a new hotel.
Principle Design and Engineering, along with fellow investor Removal Corp., received word of the grant receipt nearly a year after Mike O'Reilly set his sights on building a hotel in Norwich.
"I wanted to build a cafe in Norwich and everyone kept telling me that we really needed a hotel," said O'Reilly. "I reached out to some developers that Dan and I do work with and set up a meeting.
"Because the numbers were so lopsided, we needed a way to make it work. Not getting much assistance locally, Dan and I more or less put the grant together ourselves, basically doing all of this pro-bono for the area. But we applied for the grant and (Wednesday) we got it, so, that was good."
O'Reilly said their next steps are getting the contract signed to officially purchase the old Morrisville building, and to work with the city in terms of the future hotel's parking.
