Ara,
 
It's good to hear from you.  I'm glad to know that the Opechee property has landed in good hands.
 
I can email you PDF of the Planning Board approval packet from August 14, 2012 with the resulting approval letter.  Jean Fraser was the planner in charge of permitting, so you may want to follow up with her for specifics. 
 
The attachments are large, so I will send in batches,  (1 of 5 attached)
 
Please call or reply with any questions and best of luck with your new endeavor.
 
Bill

Hi Bill,

Hope all is well.  The Residence Inn hotel continues to perform very well, I guess we knew something based on the number of other hotel projects now planned.  You are probably aware that the Hampton Inn sold to one of the major hotel REIT's, it is a group that I work with and I am helping them assess the feasibility of the mixed use project that Opechee planned and approved for the remaining land.  I was in the Planning office on Friday as I was not able to access the original applicant's submittal package for this project on line, it appears only projects from more recent PB meetings are available.  Can you please email me this package?  Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

Thanks.
