That downtown hotel plan? SAWS just pulled the plug

A downtown hotel that was part of San Antonio's Project Marvel plan? It's officially off the table — and a $300 million price tag is why. A consultant found it would cost more than $300 million to relocate the SAWS chilled water plant on Commerce Street, the very site where the city wanted to build a 1,000-room hotel. SAWS says the plant isn't going anywhere, but they're not done planning — the utility is now exploring ways to upgrade the existing plant or add a satellite location to keep up with Project Marvel's growth. The catch? Downtown chilled water customers — would foot that tab. #ProjectMarvel #SanAntonio #SAWS #DowntownSA #CityNews
